Pan-Fried Pollock with Onions

Breaded pollock with onions — fast and delicious! A really simple, tasty fish dish you can throw together in a hurry. You don't have to thaw the pollock all the way, but you do need to cut off the fins and tail. If the fish are small and fit in the pan, you can fry them whole instead of cutting them into pieces. Fry the onion right along with the fish so it turns soft and lends the pollock its flavor.
