pollock
This term refers to two distinct species of fish from the Gadidae family, one Atlantic and one Pacific. In commercial contexts, the Pacific variety is particularly significant as the primary raw material for surimi, the paste used to create imitation crab.
While the word is used to describe the species in general, it is frequently used as a mass noun when referring to the fish as a food source or a commercial commodity. When referring to individual fish, it follows standard countable noun patterns.
