Here are a couple of fish that I didn't recognize. Perhaps you'll learn something as well. :o)
Lemon Sole
These are typically white fillets in the market. |
I really didn't even know much about haddock, and it's a big deal here in Aberdeen. Smoked haddock is pretty popular. Avoid the orange/yellow fillets. They were most likely dyed... probably had some liquid smoke type stuff applied. Properly smoked haddock should just have a sort of yellow hue. Fold here like it in soups, such as the staple here: Cullen Skink (creamy soup made with smoked haddock, potatoes, and onions.). A man at the grocery store said that at his house they serve smoked haddock pan-seared with a fried egg on top. Steve and I tried it, and it was pretty good!

This is pretty orange. It looks dyed to me...don't know about this one. :) |
As I was looking in the window of the fishmonger's shop, an elderly woman walked up and started talking to me about the fish. She explained that one was called a "kipper." I had to look it up online! Apparently, a "kipper" is an Atlantic Herring that has been gutted, butterfly split, and then smoked.

Have you heard of, or tried, an Arbroath Smokie yet...?
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't. Is it good?
DeleteCan't go wrong with a fried egg on top! :-)
