also called BigEye Pollock. The fish has an
olive green, brown back color, with silvery
sides. It ranges from California to Alaska and
across China, Russia and Japan. In Canada it
is caught in British Columbia.
There has been a sharp decline in imports from
China and a surge of imports from the U.S. With
the easing of E U restrictions of Chinese seafood
exports, supplies of Alaska Pollock fillet from
China should begin to return to former levels.
This should bring down prices to some extent.

that the Alaska Pollock as a valuable white
