At the beginning of this summer, my daughter convinced me that we needed to start exploring new, local restaurants. Now, for most people, this would be an exciting, easy endeavour. But, for my daughter and I, well, we are so indecisive that after about 20 minutes of trying to figure out which new restaurant we should go to, we give up and head to a grocery store or warehouse club to pick up staples for a dinner in!
However, last weekend, when I told my daughter about a new local ice cream shop that was serving gourmet ice cream “rolls”, she didn’t give me her usual sideways stank eye. Instead, she grabbed her keys and purse and offered to drive us there! It’s times like these that make me so proud…and so glad she inherited my dessert-loving gene!
As you can gather, sometimes, we eat dessert first. So, I jumped in the car with her and before I knew it, I was sitting in front of a waffle bowl filled with vanilla ice cream “rolls”, crushed Oreos, strawberries, mochi rice cake balls and two spoons. Now, have you ever not wanted a fellow dessert-lover to out-eat you (as y’all shared a dessert) so you stuff yourself with as much as you can, in as little time as you can? Yeah, that was me – and yeah, it wasn’t pretty!
Afterwards, we stopped at Costco to pick up a giant box of laundry detergent for our ice cream stained clothes, and we ended up sampling some chunks of Trident Seafoods® Wild Alaskan Pollock Burgers. Now, those Trident Seafoods® Wild Alaskan Pollock Burgers were mild and delicious and I tried to convince my daughter to walk back and forth (by the sampling booth) with me, so we could eat our fill and call it dinner. But, my argumentative daughter suggested that that wasn’t right and suggested that we should instead grab a couple of packs from the frozen fish aisle and take them home for dinner. Clearly, she didn’t get this gene from me! 🙄
Whether you are a lover of beef or turkey or chicken or tofu burgers, Trident Seafoods® Wild Alaskan Pollock Burgers are a healthy alternative to traditional burgers and are naturally jam-packed with healthy Omega-3s, which can significantly improve heart health, brain function, mental health, vision, and memory. Studies have also shown that Omega-3s can help fight diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and possibly even cancer.

These Trident Seafoods® Alaskan Pollock Burgers are not only delicious but are ready in a jiffy. And versatile enough to be eaten in Bibb Lettuce Wraps! I threw a few of these burgers on the grill and as they cooked up, I whipped together a quick Celery and Avocado Salsa, and a quick spiced Horseradish Sauce. The salsa and the sauce and the lettuce wraps worked together in such perfect gastronomical harmony. And, since we each had our own plate of these Pollock Burgers In Lettuce Wraps with Celery Avocado Salsa and Horseradish Sauce, we didn’t have to rush to out-eat each other!

I have two bags of these burgers in my freezer right now! We love them! they make great “emergency” meals!
You sure are right!
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting, Cynthia 🙂
Oh my goodness! My hubby tried that very same sample at Costco recently and brought a couple bags home! We love them! Now I’m excited to make your salsa and sauce! And I just have to say – you and your daughter are two ladies after my own heart! Dessert first? Heck yeah!!
Haha, Annie, life is too short not to have dessert first sometimes 🙂
Btw, thank you so much – I introduced my mom to those pollock burgers and now she’s hooked too!
Light, yet flavourful..Such a great meal!
Thank you so much Angie!
O I’m liking all the topping! Fish burgers are one of my favorites for a quick easy meal!
Thanks so much Rebecca!
Wow, what an awesome burger, Shashi! I love the idea of serving up pollock burgers in a lettuce wrap. That’s what we need these days…something healthy while still being delicious! And the ice cream story made me laugh. I remember when you were worried about lil Shashi starting to drive. But now you see the benefits when she’s driving you to get ice cream. (Also, I’m jealous that you have all of those trendy Atlanta restaurants/cafes/etc handy.) Love this post!!
Haha – Oh wow! You are a good friend indeed to remember that! How things have changed! I sure was a nervous nellie back when she started driving, but now I take a nap and let her drive – unless we are going to get ice cream – because she’d get herself some and let me sleep through so she won’t have to share!
BTW – here’s a video of how they make those rolls https://www.facebook.com/kremoicecream/videos/vb.130094554049287/256116754780399/?type=2&theater – another reason for y’all to move back?
Woah! How fun is that. Not gonna lie…the whole time I was watching that video, I was trying to figure out if I can do that at home somehow. But that worksurface looks pretty specialized. I’ve never seen anything quite like these ice cream rolls. Thanks for sharing that video, Shashi! 🙂
You are welcome, David! Actually, the Daily Meal published an article on a DIY surface to make those ice cream rolls http://www.thedailymeal.com/cook/here-s-how-make-those-ice-cream-rolls-home
if you try it, I sure hope you post it!
The picture of the avocado topped, lettuce wrapped Pollock burgers is absolutely mouth-watering. These are so so good. My only beef with them (pun intended) is that they’re pretty high in cholesterol – 60 mg per serving. Other than that, the nutritional stats for these delectables is off the charts healthy. Low carb, low calorie, high protein and crazy delicious.
I’m going to try out your recipe this weekend and surprise my wife. Thanks! 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting, Jason!
I sure do hope your wife and you enjoyed these!
OMG, I terrible at deciding where to eat out too… it’s so much easier to just send Boy to the store and for me to make us dinner. So I feel you on that. And ice cream “rolls”?! Ummm, I NEED to check that out immediately! I don’t blame you for scarfing that deliciousness down! Belly aches be damned. Anyways, I am a huuuuuge seafood burger lover – as in I’d rather have a seafood burger than a beef burger. Any day. And I prefer my burgers without the bun. So clearly I feel like you made these lettuce wraps just for little ‘ole ME! 🙂 These are perfect Shashi! With the salsa and sauce, I could stuff my face with these beauties ALL day! These are so much better than going out to dinner! Cheers, friend! xoxo
Hahaha! Cheyanne – I so know what you mean! I am a sucker for a dinner in anytime!
BTW, this is how they make those ice cream rolls – https://www.facebook.com/kremoicecream/videos/vb.130094554049287/256116754780399/?type=2&theater
Thank you so much – now I know what to make you if you happen to drop by 😉
I love fish, but white fish wasn’t really ever my thing. That being said, for some reason, I never really thought to pair it with guacamole – IDIOT I am.. BUT YOUUUUUUUUU dude changed my life now 😉
Duuuuude – YOUUUUU da bomb! Thank you for giving my glorified horseradish “gauc” some love!
Thats how I should be eating my burgers on lettuce rather than a bun. Looks delicious and I don’t think I have ever had pollack before. Looks delicious.
Thanks so much Suzanne, I hope you had a wonderful weekend
Haha, I see some people have issues when choosing a restaurant. We often have a hard time deciding and usually end up eating at home (Which is 95% better than any restaurant anyways.) These burgers look delicious, and your ice cream experience sound amazing too!
Ha! Ben, you sure make a good point – I’m one of those that prefer dining in to dining out too!
Thanks so much by the way!
You are such a woman after my own heart Shashi. Dessert first and dinner at the Costco samples. At least your daughter has some scruples, even if WE don’t. Ha ha. I love how you put these pollack burgers in lettuce wraps. What a treat and who needs the carbs? I’ll save those for dessert first!!! Yummy avocado salsa too. The weekend will soon be here, woo hoo. Hope you and Miss Manners have some fun plans! 🙂
Hahaha – yup, my daughter has some “scruples” indeed!
I hope you and your lovely family had a wonderful weekend – these long summer days have me so stoked!
I love that there’s no bun! Fish is so delicious this way and I would love to try these! Great recipe!
Thank you so much Christina!
LOL! dying laughing about walking forth in costco for dinner. Yep! been there. and dessert first. Now I will be on the HUNT for these next costco trip. WE LOVE FISH burgers!
Haha – “back and forth” sampling = cheapest dinner ever! 😉
Thanks so much friend!
That waffle bowl sounds delicious, I’ve been obsessed with ice cream lately! Love shopping at costco and these burgers sound and look so good! Need to get them asap!
Thanks so much Mira! Yes, yes you do!
I’d really love it if we could get these pollock burgers here Shashi.
They look absolutely delicious and I love the lettuce wraps instead of a bun.
These would definitely be a Friday night quick healthy meal for Lynne and I! 😉
Thanks so much Neil! I wish you could get them there too – maybe soon?
Ice-cream rolls sound so delish! I am so much in love with these bright, vibrant and beautiful photos. These lettuce wraps are divine. And that avocado salsa and horseradish sauce? I am so in love with the heavenly combo. SO SO YUM!
Thanks so much, btw, those ice cream rolls were phenomenal – and watching them being made was equally wonderful.
I’ve never heard of Pollock burgers but it sounds like they have a lot of health benefits. Your photos are stunning and I love the look of the celery and avocado salsa – very colourful dish xx
I love fish but I don’t prefer it this way. But trust me my hubby and daughter is going to love this recipe . Thanks for this awesome share. They are crazy about fish burger. AWESOME SHARE AND BEAUTIFUL PICTURES.
A white fish burger with sliced avocado on a lettuce wrap is deliciousness without the guilt. I’ve never tried pollock burgers but they look wonderful!
Share a dessert? I’ve never heard of that! Sounds like you and your daughter are having a fun Summer together. Now I’m happy to say I’m headed to Costco today so I might have to look up these Pollock Burgers. You made them so appetizing and I love the avo celery salsa action. Thanks Shashi!
