Fish Protein Pollock Whiting

Fish protein pollock whiting is made from white fish, typically pollock and whiting, which are common, lean, white-fleshed fish. The fish are processed to extract and concentrate their protein content, often through methods like washing, pressing, and drying.

Manufacturers add fish protein pollock whiting to enhance the protein content and improve the texture of seafood products. It can act as a binder, helping to hold ingredients together in items like crab cakes and seafood dips.

Fish protein pollock whiting is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of complete protein, containing all essential amino acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated fish protein, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at levels found in food.
