Haddock is a member of the cod family with grey-brown skin, a dark line running along its side and a distinctive dark thumbprint mark above the pectoral fin. It lives in cool waters close to the seabed and is a long-standing favourite in British kitchens.
The flesh is white with a fine, tender flake and a slightly sweeter taste than cod. It is a dependable all-rounder: crisp in batter, good in a fish pie and quick to bake or poach for a light supper.

For a crisp batter, dry the fillets well and dust them in flour before dipping, so the batter clings.
