The haddock is a bottom-dwelling fish of the cod family. It can be found at depths ranging from 40 to 300 meters. The flesh has a gritty and delicate texture with a good bonding ability. That is why it is frequently used in processed fish dinners. Because it thrives in coastal waters along the whole Norwegian coast north of Stad, haddock is one of the most important fish for human food in Norway.
