The Main Ingredient in Your Fish Recipe is Important - Don't Overlook the Ideal Option
By Allie Moxley
Alaskan pollock, one of the most delicate and finely textured members of the cod family is ideal for a wide variety of cooking techniques. In fact, Alaskan pollock may be just the fish you´ve been looking for as the center-piece to your some of your favorite recipes. This exquisitely delicate, flaky white fish is extremely versatile; ideal for pan-frying, deep-frying, baking, poaching or even for using in soups and stews. Pollock recipes can be as exotic as Chili and Lime Couscous-Coated Wild Alaska Pollock Goujons, as fun as Mexican-Style Pollock Quesadillas, or as simple and comforting as your mom´s favorite recipe for fried fish fillets --- to be served along with chips, of course! But there is an added benefit to using wild Alaskan pollock in your pollock recipes and for substituting it in recipes calling for various other fish: you will be serving a fish which was raised in the purest most natural habitat possible. You will be eating the product of the earth´s natural ecosystem. The nutritional content of such a product can´t be matched by farm raised varieties or any foods coming from other more polluted parts of the world.
If you are looking for great pollock recipes you are on the right track! I will pass on one of my favorite Alaskan pollock recipes in a moment. I also recommend going on line. Just use your favorite search engines and enter the wordspollock recipes and you will encounter an astonishing array of recipes and other information about the best ways to prepare this wonderful fish. But don´t forget that Alaskan pollock is also the perfect substitute in any recipe calling for just about any flaky white fish. You may find that Alaskan pollock is not just a substitute but a veritable improvement to these recipes.
Getting back to my own favorite pollock recipes, perhaps my most favorite is originally French: Alaskan Pollock With Garlic, Tomatoes and Rosemary. This recipe is as easy and healthy as it is elegant. Although it comes close to being a complete meal in itself, it can be set off spectacularly when accompanied with rice, couscous, polenta or orzo. You can get as plain or as fancy as you want as far as the side dish. Either way, this recipe will ensure a delicious meal for family or company.
