Alaska Pollock As Food
Alaska pollock (''Gadus chalcogrammus''), a species of cod (''Gadus'') found in the North Pacific ocean, is used as food globally. Compared with common pollock, Alaska pollock is milder in taste, whiter in color, and lower in oil content. Alaska pollock fillets are commonly packaged into block molds that are deep frozen and used throughout Europe and North America as raw material for high quality breaded and battered fish products. Portions cut from frozen Alaska pollock fillet blocks are the most common choice for fast food restaurant fish sandwiches, for example in the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish. Alaska pollock is also a common raw material used in the manufacture of surimi. Alaska pollock is widely regarded as one of the best proteins for the manufacture of high quality surimi because of the high gel strength of Alaska pollock flesh. History Pollock has been consumed in Korea since the Joseon era (1392–1897). One of its earliest mentions is in the 1652 '' Diary of the Roy ...

Alaska Pollock
The Alaska pollock or walleye pollock (''Gadus chalcogrammus'') is a marine fish species of the cod genus ''Gadus'' and family Gadidae. It is a semi-pelagic Shoaling and schooling, schooling fish widely distributed in the North Pacific Ocean, North Pacific, with largest concentrations found in the eastern Bering Sea. Name and differentiation Alaska pollock was long put in its own genus, ''Theragra'', and classified as ''Theragra chalcogramma'', but research in 2008 has shown it is rather closely related to the Atlantic cod and should therefore be moved back to ''Gadus'', where it was originally placed. In 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that the official scientific name for the fish was changed from ''Theragra chalcogramma'' back to its original taxon ''Gadus chalcogrammus'', highlighting its close genetic relationship to the other species of the cod genus ''Gadus''. Since 2014, registries of scientific names for fish species (e.g. the United Nations’ ASF ...

Fish Finger
Fish fingers (British English) or fish sticks (American English) are a processed food made using a whitefish, such as cod, hake, haddock, shark or pollock, which has been battered or breaded. They are commonly available in the frozen food section of supermarkets. They can be baked in an oven, grilled, shallow fried, or deep-fried. History The term "fish finger" is first referenced in a recipe given in a popular British magazine in 1900, and the dish is often considered symbolic of the United Kingdom. The food restrictions during and after WWII expanded the consumption of fish fingers, but companies struggled to maintain decent quality. The commercialization of fish fingers may be traced to 1953 when the American company Gorton-Pew Fisheries, now known as Gorton's, was the first company to introduce a frozen ready-to-cook fish finger; the product, named ''Gorton's Fish Sticks'', won the ''Parents'' magazine Seal of Approval in 1956. The developer of those fish sticks was ...
