Named
after Findon, Scotland, a fishing village near Aberdeen, finnan
haddie ( haddock ) is partially boned, lightly salted and smoked
haddock. It was originally smoked over peat fires, a rarity now
in wide commercial production. In Scotland, finnan haddie has
long been a favorite breakfast dish. It's available whole or in
fillets and can be refrigerated, tightly wrapped, for up to a
month. Finnan haddie is best baked, broiled or poached. It's generally
served with a cream sauce.
