Cullen Skink - (Finnan Haddock and Potato Soup) image

Cullen skink has its roots in Cullen, a small town on the Moray Firth coast of Scotland and is traditionally made using Finnan haddock on the bone but a boneless smoked haddock or other smoked white fish can be used. However, DO AVOID any fish that has been chemically smoked and then dyed a lurid yellow colour.

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled
1 onion, finely chopped
40 fluid ounces water
1 lb finnan haddock (or other smoked white fish)
milk
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes and onion in a large pot with the water and cook until the potatoes are almost soft.
  • Place the Finnan haddock on top of the potatoes and onions and cook, covered, for a further 5 minutes until the fish is just cooked.
  • Remove the fish, skin, bone and flake the flesh.
  • Partially mash the potatoes and onions in the cooking liquor (some prefer a"lumpy" soup, while others like a smoother base).
  • Return the flaked fish to the pot, mix thoroughly and add enough milk to create the desired consistency, either a thickish stew-soup or a thinner soup.
  • Season the Cullen Skink to taste and serve with hearty bread.

Overall, this is a good recipe. However, I would make a few changes to suit my own taste. I would add more vegetables, such as carrots and celery, and I would use less salt.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the soup didn't turn out as expected. It was too watery and lacked flavor.

The soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt, or omitting it altogether.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I would recommend adding more milk or cream to thin it out.

I'm not a fan of leeks, but I still really enjoyed this soup. The potatoes and haddock were so flavorful that the leeks were barely noticeable.

I'm not a big fan of smoked fish, but I really enjoyed this soup. The potatoes and leeks help to balance out the smokiness of the haddock.
