Burger King’s Big Fish and Firey Big Fish sandwiches are made with wild-caught Alaskan Pollock, a white fish with a sweet, mild flavor and tender, flaky meat.

The Big Fish appeals to people who don't normally like the taste of fish, such as kids, while the Fiery Big Fish is perfect for those who like a spicy kick in their sandwiches.

Aside from its pleasant taste, pollock is very versatile. Manufacturers use it to make faux shrimp, scallop, and crabmeat, and it's featured in

many fish and chips platters.

The fish is also plentiful, as about 3 million tons of Pollock are fished up each year. In addition, it comes with nutritional advantages

like vitamin B12 and protein.
