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 recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I ended up using a pre-made sauce to save time, and it still turned out great.

This dish was a bit bland for my liking. I added some extra seasoning to the sauce and it helped a lot. The smoked haddock was cooked well though.
