type of edible fish found in the North Atlantic (member of the cod family)
Haddock
The haddock or offshore hake is a marine
fish distributed on both sides of the
North Atlantic. Haddock is a popular food fish, widely fished commercially. The haddock is easily recognised by a black
lateral line running along its white side, not to be confused with
pollock which has the reverse, ie white line on black side, and a distinctive dark blotch above the
pectoral fin, often described as a "thumbprint" or even the "Devil's thumbprint" or "St. Peter's mark".
