Hi Stevie,

I'm no expert cook mind so hopefully you will get a better suggestion but yes thats the way I do pollock exactly the same as my cod

Did these up at the Mull in June/July and they were lovely - no fancy cooking techniques required.

(sorry if the picture is not working, my work computer does not like NESA)

Exactly the same Steve. Deep fry it in batter, fry it in breadcrumbs, even roast it. We love it, really nice fish.

A put a fillet in a tinfoil parcel with a bit butter tastes lovely

Treat it as Cod Steve. You wont know the difference m8.

It was a 9and a half lb fish, so the fillets are massive, going to try one fillet in breadcrumb as Mark suggested, and the other in foil with butter and whatever she puts in with it, as Peter suggested.

Spot on Mark, only I didn't pull it in, baited up and dropped down, gave Norman my rod while I went to loo, came back and the bloody rods bent double, typical for me.

Yes Liam it was Wednesday, wasn't a bad day, plenty fish pulled in but a lot
undersized so went back, as per usual I lost a couple decent ones on the way up, but did manage to get my first haddock of about 3lb, when you next out.

Yea I was asking Jim for a few weeks to get a trip going that day as our Nat wanted to come out on his day off (plus birthday). Long story short I went out on Famous the day before with Chris and when Jim let me know on the Tuesday I had already made work commitments
Sounds like you had a good day though a haddock and a massive pollock id be over the moon.

I lost a nice fish on the famous - red muppets snapped the trace bottom muppet not even at the knot! How sh!te is that talk about equipment letting you down never expected that to happen

I havnt got any booked in with Jim but as always if theres any mid week trips going I can usually get the day off work and always willing to go. Might even get a last minute trip this weekend if theres any space and our lass is ok with it
