Haddock is a culinary gem known for its mild flavour and flaky texture, making it a favourite in kitchens around the world.
Haddock is a member of the cod family, known for its mild flavour, firm flesh, and moist texture. It is often used interchangeably with cod but has a slightly sweeter taste, making it ideal for smoking.
Sustainability is a key aspect of haddock consumption.
Haddock that carries the blue Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) label is certified sustainable, indicating it comes from fisheries that meet the MSC Fisheries Standard. This certification ensures that the seafood supply chain adheres to sustainable practices.
In addition to haddock and cod, other white fish such as plaice and pollock are also used in traditional British fish dishes, often based on availability and cost.
