Haddock, a round fish and a close cousin of cod is a member of the gadidae family which also includes coley, whiting and pollock.

Haddock are bottom feeders, so they snack on molluscs, sea urchins and crustaceans which gives haddock its distinctive sweet flavour. Most commonly enjoyed as the battered fish in a fish in chip supper or – my favourite way to enjoy haddock – smoked.
