Haddock
Haddock is a mild white fish commonly baked, poached, smoked, or fried.

About Haddock
Haddock is a marine food fish with white flesh and a relatively mild, slightly sweet flavour. It is commonly baked, poached, steamed, grilled, fried, or used in soups and fish mixtures. Fresh fillets are often cooked simply, while smoked or salted forms may be prepared differently before use.
The raw flesh is pale and firm, with a fine flake that becomes tender and separates readily when cooked. Smoked haddock has a stronger savoury, smoky character. Texture varies with freshness, freezing, curing, smoking, skin retention, and cooking method.
Haddock is sold as whole fish, fillets, portions, or prepared products, and may be fresh, frozen, salted, or smoked. Smoked haddock is typically yellow-gold to tan. Products may contain skin or bones, and coatings or added ingredients alter the appearance and handling.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.
Portions & preparation
Match the species and edible fish flesh, distinguishing fresh or frozen haddock from smoked, salted, battered, breaded, or canned products. Record whether skin, bones, and added cooking fat remain. Poaching, baking, frying, and sauce-based preparations should be catalogued separately.
Compare the right form: Use a reference for haddock flesh in the stated fresh, frozen, smoked, canned, battered, or cooked form, excluding bones and inedible parts.
Diet considerations
Haddock is an animal-derived fish. Plain flesh differs from smoked or preserved versions, and compatibility changes with batter, breading, dairy sauces, animal fats, or mixed broths. Coatings and accompanying cereal ingredients create a portion-dependent carbohydrate pattern not attributable to plain fish.

What these diet assessments mean
- Vegan · Typically incompatible
- The ingredient profile identifies an animal-derived food or derivative.
- Vegetarian · Typically incompatible
- The profile identifies animal flesh, seafood or a derivative excluded by a vegetarian diet.
- Pescatarian · Typically compatible
- Seafood fits this pescatarian definition. Added meat-based stock or other ingredients would need checking separately.
- Keto · May be compatible
- The plain form may fit a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Check the portion, added sugar, coatings and sauces against the nutrition values above.
- Paleo · May be compatible
- May fit a paleo pattern, depending on the cut or form, processing and added ingredients.
- Low-carb · May be compatible
- The plain form may fit a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Check the portion, added sugar, coatings and sauces against the nutrition values above.
- Halal · Not established
- Sourcing, processing and any applicable certification have not been verified. A food name alone does not establish halal status.
- Kosher · Not established
- Sourcing, processing and any applicable certification have not been verified. A food name alone does not establish kosher status.
For the plain ingredient · Awaiting review. Diet compatibility is not allergy suitability or halal/kosher certification. Keto and low-carb depend on the portion.
