Haddock

Haddock is a white fish, a member of the cod family, found in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is a popular food fish, typically sold as fillets or portions, often skinless and boneless. It is commonly prepared by baking, frying, or poaching.

Haddock is primarily used as a protein source in a variety of dishes, particularly in the UK. It is a key ingredient in traditional fish and chips, fishcakes, and fish pies. Its mild flavour and flaky texture make it versatile for use in breaded products and other prepared fish meals.

Haddock is a natural food ingredient and not a food additive. It is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Like other fish, it contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are associated with cardiovascular health benefits, as advised by the NHS. There are no specific regulatory evaluations for haddock as a food ingredient beyond general food safety standards.
