What each ingredient does
- Haddock
- Forms the main body of the dish, providing all the protein and flaky texture when cooked.
The step that matters
Cooking gently after the boil. Once the water reaches a boil, keeping it at a gentle simmer cooks the fish through while keeping its flesh tender and flaky. A hard, rolling boil toughens and breaks up the delicate fish.
