Premium whitefish such as cod and haddock have seen significant price increases in recent periods. For the foodservice industry, this creates both operational challenges and an opportunity to rethink menus, sourcing strategies, and overall cost-in-use.
As traditional choices like cod and haddock become more expensive and less predictable in supply, many kitchens are actively looking for more stable and flexible alternatives.
A strong alternative – Alaska Pollock
Alaska pollock (APO) is one of the most widely used whitefish alternatives in global foodservice. While pollock is also influenced by market dynamics, it often provides a more cost-efficient option compared to cod and haddock.
At the same time, it is a highly versatile raw material suitable for a wide range of internatinal and also exotic applications:
- Steamed
- Battered, breaded & fried
- Soups & salads
- International cuisine concepts
Flexibility in the kitchen
At Polar Star Fish Co., we supply APO solutions tailored to foodservice needs, depending on product format, specification, and packaging requirements.
This allows operators to work more flexibly with menu development, without compromising on functionality or usability.
Different kitchens. Different concepts. One adaptable raw ingredient.
