Finnan haddie is a Scottish dish with smoked haddock. This is a simple, old family recipe that comes from the Maritimes - Canada. We always called this 'the milk fish'. This goes great with the traditional mashed potatoes and peas.

so bland. My mom fed us this as kids 55 years. I did not like it then...it might have been the snoke flavour so for olde times sake I thought I should give it a try...plus my wife could live on fish if I did not cook lamb chicken pork and beef. Anyway it is way too bland for my tastes today and I have no idea how to 'pick it up'. To each his/her own. Read More

Soaking the fish in the milk overnight prior to cooking is usual for finnan haddie since its a semi-dried sometimes salted smoked very mild flavor fish. This makes a nice smoky sauce and depending on the salt level to the fish very tasty. Be careful with adding salt. Good recipe reminds me of home. Read More
