Etymology
The word 'pollack' has its origins in Middle English, deriving from the Middle Dutch term 'pollak,' which means 'young fish.' This term was possibly influenced by similar words in Germanic languages, such as the Old High German 'pullica.' The use of 'pollack' specifically to refer to the fish species became prominent in the 19th century, as fishing techniques and culinary practices evolved. The fish itself has been an important part of the diet in many coastal communities for centuries, and its name reflects its significance in local fisheries and cuisine. The modern spelling has varied, though 'pollock' is often used interchangeably for both the Atlantic and Pacific species.
