HADDOCK: a silvery-grey sea fish, varying from one and a half to seven pounds in weight, of the same genus as the cod and very plentiful in the North Atlantic, off both the American and European coasts. It is in season all the year. "Deep sea" catches are generally considered the best. Large quantities are cured by drying, smoking and salting. Smoked Haddock is best known as "Finnan haddie".
