Haddock

Haddock
The haddock is the second most important member of the cod family.

Haddock are found on both sides of the Atlantic from Norway to New Jersey but are most plentiful in waters off Nova Scotia and Cape Cod.

The mature fish feed on crustaceans (crabs, shrimp, etc), molluscs (clams, etc.), and on small fish.

In recent years, the stocks of haddock have been greatly depleted due to overfishing.

Haddock are usually caught in areas where the depth of water is 150 – 360 ft (45.7 – 109.7 m).

They are caught, handled aboard the boat, and processed to produce fillets, fish blocks, and fish sticks in the same manner as that described for cod.

Haddock are not salted and dried. Some haddock are lightly salted and lightly smoked, without heat, to produce a product called “finnan haddie”.
