The haddock or offshore [[hake]] is a marine fish distributed on both sides of the North Atlantic. Haddock is a very popular food fish, sold fresh, smoked, frozen, dried, or to a small extent canned. Haddock, along with cod and plaice, is one of the most popular fish used in British fish and chips.

The haddock is easily recognized 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".

Fresh haddock has a fine white flesh and can be cooked in the same ways as [[cod]]. Freshness of a haddock fillet can be determined by how well it holds together, as a fresh one will be firm; also, fillets should be translucent, while older fillets turn a chalky hue. Young, fresh haddock and [[cod]] fillets are often sold as scrod in Boston, Massachusetts; this refers to the size of the fish which have a variety of sizes, i.e. scrod, markets, and cows. Haddock is the predominant [[fish]] of choice in Scotland in a fish supper. It is also the main ingredient of Norwegian fishballs (fiskeboller).
