Does anyone remember....

Torsk....the "poor man's lobster", that was such a "big" thing in the 70's. You'd grab a slab of it, and broil with butter. (It's really just cod)  I've got a hankerin' for a big ol' slab of it lately, might haveta hunt down a sale on some thick filets somewhere. I like mine with dill weed, butter, and a sprinkle of Hungarian paprika....

Never see the big chunks of it anymore like back then...

Atlantic cod is now days expensive and tightly controled,Almost fished out!!  just befor thanksgiving we had fish & chips with pacific cod>>We cant stand the pollock! Its all water weight,But not near cod.We did get the big fillets (Chunks) Tastes almost the same just a bit stronger but oh so good!! We get it from a CashWise grocery in Willmar.Kinda seasonal but can be had if you go for the Pacific cod

Totally agree about the pollock, dew!  A lb of it baked is like eating a lb of feathers...nuttin' there!
I just had 1 1/4 lbs of pollock filets a few weeks ago, and it cooked down to nothing. Done buying those anemic, skinny filets.

I keep all the eel pout I catch when I do.  But yes I remember torsk.  Love the meaty pieces of cod as well.  good luck.
