So there are some people out there who like to keep the taste of the meat as it is and only add salt and pepper for seasoning and enhancing the meat’s own flavor. However, in my opinion, you should marinate the pork collar because, on its own, it tastes a little bland. But with a good marinade, the meat takes on a whole new flavor profile that you would appreciate. On top of that, you are only limited by your creativity when it comes to marinade, so experiment!
