Some people do eat them. I wouldn't. Growing up as a kid and coming from a commercial fishing family we would only eat haddock, sole ,salt water cat fish, halibut and flounder. We never ate cod either it was always considered a trash fish.
Allot of your fast food chains use pollock for there fish sandwiches. Andthe English fish & chips were all pollock. Today some places sell you skate wings as scallops.

Nothing wrong with eating pollock, sometime they fetch a higher price in the market.

Today you don't know what you are eating when it comes to fish by-product. A friend of mine that buys fish from around the world for Gorton's of Gloucester buys the cheapest fish going for that company and so does every other company. There is a world demand for fish.
Here is an example. The herring that we use for bait is also packaged and sent to Eypt, and all them middle eastern countries.
Some of that same herring is pickled and sold in your favorite super market.

Yes, it's true and I am aware of that. They are in 14 inches... How do you use a 12 or 14 in. inshore pollock for bait? I caught one and it died right infront of me and the body floated. Should I fillet it or chunk it for a striper? Is a 12 or 14 inches too much for stripers? I saw a big-ass bass chasing them when I dunked my herring chunk to them.

Alright, I will. It's hard to get them ont eh hook while stripers are looking for it. I nearly nabbed it w/ a whole dead herring. I lived-lined it, but what is the best way to hook a pollock and to make it send out attentions to a BIG-ASS striper? I caught a orange oysterfish or a toadfish with it and it turned into a damn blue, man!

Terminology update for Notaro - "Live Lined" means the bait on your line is "alive". The best way to hook a pollock would be with a big hook. Punch it thru the upper back and lob it in the water. It will do most of the rest... |

FISH-FRY!!!
As a kid fishing off the town pier in Scituate we used to regularly bring home a couple dozen or so 9-12" pollock.
We would fire up the hibachi, clean all the fish, put fome foil on the grid, add half a stick of butter and fry fry fry until they were all cooked and eaten.
best fish I have ever eaten.
no skinning or filleting.
Just head off, guts out, onto the butter cook till we remember to turn em over and hope they werent falling apart too bad.
toss the boned back onto the coals.
sometimes wewould stack up cinder blocks and use brush for the fire and prop a big cast iron skillet above to cook in.
YUM!!!!!

If you are fishing off boston removing the sinker might possible be a mistake
