pollack

 or pollock

Either of two commercially important North Atlantic species of food fish in the cod family (Gadidae). Pollachius (or Gadus) virens, called saithe or coalfish in Europe, is deep green with a pale belly. It has a small chin barbel (fleshy protuberance) and three dorsal and two anal fins. A carnivorous, lively, usually schooling fish, it grows to about 3.5 ft (1.1 m) long and weighs up to 35 lbs (16 kg). The other species, Theragra chalcogramma, or walleye pollack, closely resembles P. virens.

Among other items that debuted earlier this year in the World of Tastes line are Breaded Crispy Salmon, Alaska Pollock and Saithe in 300-gram boxes.
Cod is a favourite and has always been used in chippers but there are alternative white fish species, like pollack or saithe, out there which can be substituted.
