Alaska Pollock is a mild fish and very tender. It has the same slender body as Cod and Haddock, but the chin barbel is very small or absent. It can grow to 105 cm and can live for up to 22 years, but it is generally younger when caught.
The adult Alaska Pollock usually live near to the sea floor where they congregate in dense schools, especially at spawning time. They feed on small creatures, such as krill and other crustaceans and on other fish.
Alaska Pollock is caught with Trawls and it is used widely in our products like our Birds Eye fish fingers.

FISHERMAN STORIES
Imagine sailing the seas at all hours, facing all weathers to bring home the freshest fish. Our fishermen, just like The Captain, eat the cold for breakfast, washed down with a glug of driving rain. So make yourself a fish finger sandwich, pull up a chair and put yourself in the ice-cold boots of those who brave the oceans.
