Finnan Haddie (Smoked Haddock) Flavors of Cape Cod image

My husband loves this dish, he is from a Scottish family and his mom used to make it. The name comes from the Scottish town of Findon and the slang word for haddock. In the 1800s in Findon, fishwives hung lightly salted or, as Down Easters would say, slack-salted, haddock in their chimneys to be smoked gently over peat fires....

This dish is a classic for a reason. The fish is perfectly smoked and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. I love serving it with roasted vegetables.

This recipe was a great way to use up leftover smoked haddock. The fish was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and delicious. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.

The fish was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try again next time and cook the fish for less time.
