Old Photograph Fishwives Cleaning Haddock Aberdeen Scotland


Old photograph of fishwives cleaning Haddock in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The haddock is a saltwater fish, found in the North Atlantic Ocean and associated seas. Haddock is a very popular food fish, sold fresh, smoked, frozen, dried, or to a small extent canned. Haddock, along with Atlantic cod and plaice, is one of the most popular fish used in British fish and chips. One popular form of haddock is Finnan haddie which takes its name from the fishing village of Finnan or Findon in Scotland, where it was originally cold smoked over peat. Finnan haddie is often served poached in milk for breakfast. The town of Arbroath on the east coast of Scotland produces the Arbroath smokie. This is a hot-smoked haddock which requires no further cooking before eating.
