Brightons best chippie does a cod free wednesday, the best 2 alternatives so far have been pollack and whiting, I reckon pollack even better than cod deep fried with nice crispy batter...I'm making myself hungry writing this and I think I know what I'll be eating .......mmmm. winking

gazza just made pollock complicated lol. put on a bit of tin foil, add a whacking great big bit of butter, wrap up in nice little parcel and place on the bbq till cooked. will definatl give your recipie a go tho gazza, sounds lush. Now, im off to the chippy :p

Sorry, can't agree, would rather have a fresh bass as per yesterday (accompanied with fresh cut sea kale) than a near tasteless pollack.

Nice one yungteddy - The cooking up in Orkney sounds good. Is it a traditional island dish?

Pollock con be made to taste lovely,try topping with salsa,season with sea salt and freshley ground black pepper,wrap in foil and bake in the oven or if the sun`s shining cook on the bbq.You can also batter it add a desertspoon of garam masala to your batter mix.Hope this helps.

Fresh Cod or fresh Pollack, I couldn't taste the difference as long as they were caught and cooked on the same day. I give them both the same treatment, fillets wrapped in foil with butter and a little bit of olive oil.

I reckon if you gave people Pollack and told them it was Cod most wouln't be able to tell winking
