Fried
When fried, pollock can increase the amount of fat content in its composition; it contains more than 100 kcal per 100 gram serving. Since the meat itself is lean, when frying fillets in batter or just fillets in a frying pan, use oil and add various sauces to the finished fish. Before cooking, you can also marinate pollock; often this dish can become the main dish on the holiday table.

Heat treatment and calorie content of pollock: is there a connection?
In Soviet canteens, the main dish on Thursday was boiled pollock. The calorie content of such a dish is pleasantly surprising, since it is only 73 kilocalories per 100 g of product.
The calorie content of boiled pollock slightly exceeds the nutritional value of raw fish fillet - by only one unit. Boiling is the best way to quickly and tasty cook fish. Pollock can be defrosted quickly. It is enough to immerse the fish carcasses in filtered water for 10-15 minutes.
Cooking takes only a few minutes. If you are a supporter of proper or dietary nutrition, boiled pollock can be eaten without a side dish. Otherwise, take care to prepare a healthy and low-calorie side dish. The ideal choice would be mashed potatoes or boiled rice. Fresh herbs and lemon slices will help highlight the taste of white fish fillet.
Is everything fried harmful?
Most nutritionists say that in order to lose weight or improve your health, it is better to give up fried foods. Such a statement cannot be considered an axiom, since people have found a refutation of it - this is fried pollock. Its calorie content per 100 grams is about 72 kilocalories. But this is provided that you fry the fillet in refined vegetable oil with a slight addition of sour cream with a minimum percentage of fat content.
Many housewives love to surprise their household members. To give fried fish an appetizing golden crust, you can cook it in flour batter. The calorie content of pollock fried in flour is slightly higher and amounts to 127 kilocalories.
If you are still preparing egg batter, then fried pollock is no longer considered a dietary dish. The calorie content of such an appetizing dish increases sharply to 260 kilocalories.
On a note! You can make tender, incredibly tasty and healthy cutlets from pollock fillet. If you do not add high-calorie ingredients to the minced fish, the nutritional value of the cutlets will not exceed 150 kilocalories.
Nutritionists say that the calorie content of fried pollock largely depends on the method of its preparation and the use of additional products. Pay special attention to the oil. Fish should not swim in it like in a pond. And to get rid of excess oil, after frying, pieces of pollock are laid out on a paper towel for just a couple of minutes.
Stew, steam – what do we choose?
There is an opinion that the healthiest dishes are those that have been prepared by steaming. This is true, since products retain all their beneficial properties when processed with steam. In addition, pieces of pollock will not fall apart, which cannot be avoided when boiling fish fillets.
Please note that the calorie content of steamed pollock is quite low and amounts to 80 kilocalories per 100 g of product. But not everyone likes bland dishes.
There is another option - stewed pollock. The calorie content of this dish is approximately 78 kilocalories. The nutritional value increases if you added fermented milk products, sauces or vegetables during cooking.
Add carrots, onions and herbs, and the usual fish dish will sparkle with new flavor colors. But its calorie content will increase slightly - up to 102 kilocalories.
It is convenient to cook stewed fish in a slow cooker. Many housewives use this same gadget to steam food. Pollock fillet can also be deliciously baked in the oven. For variety, it is prepared on a bed of vegetables, under a lemon marinade, with tomato.
On a note! Please note that sauces and marinades increase calorie content. Fish fillets that have been heat-treated in their pure form have the lowest nutritional value.
If you like baked pollock, use foil to cook it. This way you will preserve all the beneficial properties of the fish and its juiciness.
On a note! For those who have forgotten, we remind you that freshly squeezed lemon juice helps get rid of the pungent fishy smell.
To satisfy the feeling of hunger, it is better to serve pollock in combination with a side dish. The taste of this fish is neutral, so it is in perfect harmony with cereals and vegetables. If you're counting calories, pay special attention to the side dish. It is better to bake or steam vegetables. Choose low-calorie cereals.
Energy value
Pollock is one of the foods that are easily absorbed by our body, despite the fact that it does not contain a large amount of CBJU. Per 100 grams of this fish there is only 1% fat content, there are no carbohydrates. But it is unique in its beneficial properties - it successfully fights high cholesterol, contains 16 g of protein, and is included in the diet during a therapeutic diet or for weight loss. To lose weight, nutritionists recommend consuming caviar and pollock fillets, which contain useful elements in the composition of the diet, which contribute to accelerated metabolism.
But to make the prepared fish dish richer in carbohydrates and other nutrients, it is successfully combined with other products. Despite the low calorie content of pollock, its liver, on the contrary, has a high fat content - 450 kcal.
If we consider the content of the energy value of fish as a percentage, the result will be as follows: proteins - 88%, fats - 11%, carbohydrates - 0%. And the chemical composition contains a large number of micro and macroelements and vitamins, such as A, B1, B2, RE and others.
But this rather dusty product has a number of contraindications:
- doctors prohibit eating pollock caviar and fillet if you are allergic to seafood;
- Due to the large amount of dietary salt in caviar, eating fish can significantly harm health with diseases such as ulcers and hypertension.
