Fishermans Tale PollockOur featured fish for this week is the beautifully refined Pollock. Atlantic Pollock are

larger and have slightly darker flesh and higher oil content than Alaska Pollock. The meat

is white and firm and has a sweet, delicate flavor. Atlantic Pollock is at our market in fillets.

Atlantic pollock are brownish-green on the back and slightly pale on the belly. They have a

small chin barbel, like the whiskers on a catfish. They are a member of the cod family but

can be distinguished by their greenish hue and darker flesh.

Atlantic pollock is very low in saturated fat and is a very good source of protein, vitamin

B12, phosphorus, and selenium.

cultivated for centuries. Apples are white-fleshed fruits with a red, yellow, or green skin.

Apples are naturally low in calories and good source s of fiber and vitamin C. The soluble

fiber pectin in apple along with its unique combination of polyphenolic phytonutrients has

been linked with heart disease prevention for its role in regulating our blood fat levels. In

addition, the phytonutrients in apples influence our digestion and absorption of

carbohydrates, and thus help us regulate our blood sugar. Researchers have found thatapples also help increase satiety making you feel fuller longer. Consuming one medium-

sized apple before a meal has been linked with helping people reduce their caloric intake at

that meal by 15%. Eating both the skin and the flesh of the apple maximizes the nutritional

benefits of this wonderful fruit.

When buying, remember to look for apples with firm skin and rich coloring. They can be

stored for quite a long time at a low temperature to help reduce nutrient loss. Bruised or

damaged apples produce large amount of ethylene gas which can lead to spoilage of apples

or other produce stored nearby. For this reason, be sure to remove any damaged apples

when storing them as the old adage actually proves true: one bad apple can spoil the wholebunch.

apples, oatmeal, and whole wheat flour for added fiber.
