 HADDOCK
- a special collection of tasty haddock recipes from
Grampian and celebrity chefs
grill,
bake, steam, poach or fry . . . haddock is a versatile
fish
The
North East of Scotland Fisheries Development Partnership
(NESFDP) is a partnership of processors, catchers, local
government, national trade agencies and other stakeholders
associated with the fishing industry in the North East
of Scotland.
For
hundreds of years, families in the North-east of Scotland
have been raised on the sea's rich harvest. Generations
have thrived on the simple diet that is rich in nutrients
and flavour. The sea has provided a good living and
despite the often hard and dangerous life, fishing settlements
along the coast-line flourished and became the strong
communities which shaped the distinctive North-east
characteristics of determination and courage.
Haddock,
with its firm, meaty texture and delicate flavour, has
always held a special place in our diets. Often served
breaded or battered, it has been one of the mainstays
of the family meal. But the humble haddock is so much
more versatile than that, and in this diverse collection
of recipes we want to bring haddock into the Twenty-first
century and show the wonderful range of delicious dishes
that can be made, using ingredients gathered from the
world over.
In
the Partnership's quest to promote haddock throughout
the United Kingdom, we contacted Grampian and celebrity
chefs for their assistance. We are delighted to be able
to include recipes from Antony Worrall Thompson, Lady
Claire Macdonald, Gary Rhodes, Gordon Ramsay, James
Martin, Josceline Dimbleby, Ken Hom, Manju Malhi, Mary
Berry and Rick Stein. Our gratitude is also extended
to our best local North East chefs and finest eating
establishments for their contributions.
From
the salty tang of simply prepared fresh haddock, to
the traditional home favourites of kedgeree and fish
pie, to exotic flavours such as coconut, chilli and
pesto which infuse some of the more unusual recipes,
this is a celebration of one of the maritime treasures
of the North east. So be adventurous, be inspired and
enjoy.
