Pollock vs Cod

Both cod and pollock are low-fat varieties of mild-flavored white fish.   Pollock is softer and more delicate than cod, and can easily fall apart if overcooked. If you’re making a fish chowder or stew, cod is the better choice because it holds its shape when cooked for longer periods of time. Pollock is often used as an imitation crab in some sushi and Japanese dishes.
