Haddock fish and chips

Fish and chips is a traditional dish consisting of freshly fried fish fillets and sliced fried potatoes. The fish is dipped in a batter of eggs, flour, and milk, and it’s then fried in oil, lard, or beef drippings. The most common types of fish used are cod, haddock, skate, and pollock, but cod is the most popular choice, with 60% of all fish and chips meals using it as the preferred fish.

Haddock, on the other hand, has stronger and slightly sweeter flavors than cod does, and its flesh also has a bit more texture that’s drier and flakier than cod. This is the reason why professional chefs usually prefer haddock for their fish and chips.

Throughout the country, haddock accounts for 25% of all fish and chips meals. It’s especially popular in the North, especially in Lancashire and Yorkshire.
