If its some kind of white fish and its not named, its frequently something like pollock.

It's also the major component of most imitation crab meat.

Crab/seafood salad, California rolls (sometimes), other things that have "fake crab".

In Scandinavia pollock is part of the traditional cuisine. Some people fry it up [1], but it's mostly found in things like fish balls [2] and fish cakes [3] where the meat has been turned into a paste (other types of fish such as haddock are also used).

According to the first article, pollock is low-fat/high-protein, is sustainably harvested in Scandinavia, and is also one of the cheapest fish you can buy.
