Description

Pollock is a white fish belonging to the Gadiformes family, known for its soft, white flesh and delicate flavor. It is a highly valued ingredient in gastronomy for its firm texture, which allows for multiple cooking methods, from stews to frying or baking.

This fish is primarily native to the North Atlantic Ocean, including the coasts of Europe and North America. In the Southern Hemisphere and other regions, it can also be found in cold and temperate waters.

Pollock is rich in protein, low in fat, and contains omega-3 fatty acids, which provide benefits for cardiovascular health. Furthermore, it is a good source of B-complex vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus and selenium.

In different regions of Latin America, pollock may have various synonyms or common names, such as Alaska cod, pollito, or simply bacle, although these terms may vary depending on the country and local context. In cooking recipes, it is important to identify it correctly to take advantage of its versatility and characteristic flavor.
