It has an olive-green back and a pale-silver belly.

Buyer's guide
Atlantic pollack is fished in Northern Europe. Sold both fresh and frozen, and occasionally smoked or salted, pollack is an excellent sustainable alternative to other white fish.
Preparation
Fillets can be cooked with the skin on or off, but if leaving the skin on it’s best to scale the fish before cooking. Pollack will also need pin-boning either before or after cooking. It’s best grilled with a butter and herb crust, deep-fried as fish and chips or poached for fish pies and casseroles.
