Haddock Fillets Delivery or Pickup

Haddock imparts an array of health benefits as a high-protein, low-calorie fish. Haddock is a close relative of cod and comes from the North Atlantic Ocean's cold waters. You may sometimes find haddock marketed as scrod.

A firm, white, bottom-feeding fish, haddock is often compared to cod, and the two are easily swapped in recipes. Just like cod, haddock is commonly baked, broiled, and deep-fried thanks to its robust flake. Throw haddock into soups, like fish chowder, when you're looking for another way to cook this versatile fish, as it will keep its form.

Unlike its cod counterpart, haddock tends to have a slightly stronger, sweeter flavor. However, the taste of haddock is still mild. Haddock also has a finer, more delicate texture and is less fatty than cod. Haddock is similar to fish like catfish, flounder, halibut, pollock, and tilapia in terms of being a leaner fish.

Haddock fillets go particularly well with homemade tartar sauces or remoulades, and they're perfect for serving with roasted potatoes or French fries for a satisfying meal at home. If you want to cook a lighter meal, haddock fillets are ideal served with a side of coleslaw or on a bed of arugula. Want to bake haddock fillets to use in sandwiches? Just cut the fillets into portions the size of the buns you plan to use before coating with breadcrumbs. Then, you'll end up with delicious fish to serve in toasted buns alongside fries or potato chips.

As with cooking any fish, you'll want your haddock fillets to reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use an instant-read or meat thermometer to check the internal temperature to ensure that your haddock fillets have reached this safe temperature. If you cut a piece of fish at the thickest part and take a look at the texture, it should appear opaque (as opposed to the translucent appearance it has when raw) and break apart easily into flakes when you give it a nudge with a fork.

Haddock fillets deliver a mild flavor, which means they're well-suited to an assortment of recipes. Haddock also works well with various cooking methods. Though the texture of haddock is too flaky to hold up well on a grill, haddock fillets are ideal for baking, broiling, deep-frying, poaching, light sauteing, and stir-frying.

Baked or broiled haddock goes well with garlic and lemon. Serve the fillets along with leafy green salads or wild rice and broccoli for hearty yet healthy meals.

Haddock is a popular choice for the traditional British fish and chips dish. For a healthier recipe using this nutritious fish, simply brush your haddock fillets with some olive oil, then coat them in panko breadcrumbs and add some herbs before baking.

Haddock, like cod, works well in fish chowders and stews. Chowder recipes are usually milk- or cream-based, while stews generally have tomatoes as a base. Haddock tastes delicious in both!

You can also use haddock to craft fish tacos lower in fat and calories than tacos made with ground beef but still incredibly tasty. To use haddock fillets for fish tacos, cut them into bite-sized pieces before marinating them in olive oil, chili powder, cilantro, and lime. Then, broil your haddock fillet pieces, so you have a delicious filling for corn or flour tortillas.
