Haddock
Haddock
is, for most cooks, the most popular fish. It has been used for
ages in the preparation of traditional «Fish and Chips».
Many chefs from many different countries have adopted
haddock as their fish of choice for their
favourite recipes.
Often mistaken for cod, the haddock is smaller in size and sports a black spot on each side of its head. Its length varies from 38 to 62 centimetres and its weight ranges from 900 grams to 18 kilograms.
Its white, flaky flesh is similar to that of cod but its taste is clearly more refined.
You will find haddock, fresh or frozen in fillets, in your METRO fishmonger's display.
- Haddock can be prepared in a flash, and lends itself to every cooking method : oven-baked, grilled, pan-fried, sauted, deep-fried, poached, steamed, en papillote, in a bouillabaisse, every recipe turns out great.
- Be careful, haddock's flesh is very delicate and has a tendency to crumble if cooked too long.

Haddock is a lean fish and, as such, is very
easy to digest. We recommend steaming or poaching to maintain
the low fat content of the fish.
Like most fish, haddock is an excellent source of
high quality protein. It is rich in vitamin A and B, and provides a
significant amount of phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iodine
and iron.
