LOL I think that's what they make fake crab and lobster out of these days;
pollock is another version of white cod. Cape whiting may also be used.

I'll probably be fixing poached cod in the next

I just can't get my mind around poached fish. I'm sure it's good but...
it's just me. I'd pan fry the cod or bake it. I'm still thinking (for
mine) fish & chips but I don't like to deep-fry stuff. Messy. Maybe I'll
try doing the cod like I do oven baked catfish. Soak the fillets in a
mixture of water, hot pepper sauce and lemon juice. Roll in seasoned crumbs
(I like to use cornflake crumbs for this) and place in a baking dish sprayed
with cooking spray. Bake at 400F until browned and tender.
