Fish Index — UK, Ireland & Nordic Fish & Seafood Industry Directory
Haddock is a commercially important whitefish species for the UK and Irish seafood industry, primarily caught in the North Sea and North Atlantic. It is highly valued for its mild flavour and versatility.
Haddock is available year-round, with peak landings often occurring from late summer through winter. Spawning closures may affect specific areas, but supply remains consistent.
Many Haddock fisheries in the North Sea and North Atlantic are MSC certified, indicating healthy stock levels and sustainable management. Buyers should prioritise MSC-certified sources.
Haddock is a staple in traditional British fish and chips. It is also excellent for smoking, baking, frying, and poaching, widely used in retail and foodservice.
Key landing ports include Peterhead, Fraserburgh, and Lerwick in Scotland. The UK processes significant volumes for domestic consumption and export, contributing substantially to the whitefish sector.
