Pollock is the common term for either of the two species in the Pollachius genus. Both P. pollachius and P. virens are commonly referred to as Pollock.

Other names for P. pollachius include the Atlantic Pollock, European Pollock, Lieu Jaune, and Pollack, while P. virens is sometimes known as the Coalfish or Saithe.

Neither species is EVER confused with Bass, which is in fact, a very poor kind of lager.
