Lough Neagh Pollan with Kohlrabi and Apple Butter

Pollan is a freshwater white fish known only to come from five lakes in Ireland, including Lough Neagh and Lough Erne in Ulster. In this video, Paula uses kohlrabi, which is a root vegetable, and apple butter to accompany the fish. Pollan can be substituted with another fish variety, preferably white fish.
