![]() -“Eglefin” becomes haddock when it is smoked and coloured superficially with orange annatto. Halibut flesh, white and tender, mild in taste and slightly sweet, is very much appreciated in the Scandinavian countries, where it is often poached in milk.
![]() From the cod and pollack family, it can be recognised by its brownish-grey sides, a purple-blue head and a white ventral section. It can grow to a maximum size of 3.3 feet. The haddock likes the ocean bottom and cold waters (from 36°F to 46°F) It is a sedentary fish that one finds especially in the northeast Atlantic, from Iceland and Northern Norway to the coasts of Portugal. Caught by nets or bottom-line fishing, it is immediately frozen the day it is fished, which preserves all of its flavour.
