Depending on availability, haddock is on my menu more often that not, always popular, as an altenative you could use Hake or Coley, either way, you’ll enjoy this recipe, so tasty!!
What I love about haddock is that when cooked, how nice it is when you have these big flakes that are tender and light, enjoy!
