Pollack is nice enough, but it is never going to set the taste buds alight, to be honest cod,pollack,coley,pouting, haddock etc. all taste pretty similar IMHO.

EDIT: out of interest what rig do you use to catch them?


I had them on mackerel feathers (a blue plastic version thereof) tipped with ragworm. They'll fall to anything tho really.

Haddock is my favourite off that list, by a long way.

My brother just breezed by leaving two big pollack, half a dozen mackerel and the sink full of entrails.

I've put most of it into the freezer, but thought we could have the biggest pollack barbecued tomorrow.

Could cook it over bay and/or rosemary prunings. Any further suggestions?

Well it was delicious - not mushy at all! Big flakes of nice, tasty fish. BW had thirds and even Sean, who is not normally a fish fan enjoyed it.

Had to cut the head off to get it in the barbecue, then stuffed with lemon and bay leaves, and the lid put on the barbecue so it baked. Served with previously barbecued skewers of cherry toms and courgette (can't have a meal without courgette!) and chips.

eta it was cooked on Bulworthy project's charcoal!

I've never found pollock to be mushy.

Well then, maybe I'll keep one for the BBQ next time.
