Wild Alaska pollock is a great source of protein and like other white fish gives you a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids while being low in calories.

Pollock is a firmer textured flaky fish that isn't very oily. If you like cod or halibut you'll like pollock. It flakes apart in larger chunks and is a substantial and tasty fish.
