Haddock

Haddock is found on both sides of the North Atlantic, and it thrives in the cold waters off the coast of Norway. It is a very popular food fish and is widely fished commercially.

Haddock is a ground fish that lives at depths of between 40 and 300 metres. Haddock is one of the most important sea foods in Norway. Haddock is primarily an excellent source of protein. It also contains plenty of vitamin B12, pyridoxine and selenium and has a good balance of sodium and potassium.

Haddock has clean white flesh that is quite firm when fresh and it is often cooked in a similar manner to cod. It does not respond well to salting but is often preserved by drying and is also widely used in processed products.
