I’d just got down to preparing a light lunch, for my beloved and myself, when I found myself somewhat perplexed.
The labelling on the packaged fish read, "Line caught smoked haddock"; that floored me!
I didn’t even know there was a breeding ground for smoked haddock. If the haddock were to somehow go off course and land up in the Dead Sea I suspect they’d soon be salt-cured but, I’ve yet to discover the location of the smoked haddock shoals.

Someone went out on his boat, caught you that one, prepared and saved it for you, or is that to far-fetched? Hmmm, probably. Don\’t think anyone loves me that much, either;-)Good thing really, coz it sounds like smoked kippers you\’re talking about. My husband could eat one every day but I\’ve never like them. Gimme what we call a roll mop any day:-) Piece of herring soaked in white vinegar and chopped onion with maybe a hint of sugar? Whatever – it\’s delicious. Lovely with hot buttered toast.
the smoked Melanogrammus aeglefinus (haddock) shoals are off the Scotian Shelf…honestly! What DO they teach in schools these days???
Hey Cass, reckon Mal\’s having a laugh with us. Get the words: "Line-caught smoked haddock". Makes it look like they were caught already smoked! So I just wound him up a bit. Got to get me own back, ya know. Beats the stuffing outa what yesterday was made of…So anyway, did you enjoy your food, is all that matters?
So that\’s where all the smokers have had to go to take a puff! Under the sea!
Love yourreply Cassie and, also like the idea of undersea smokers – together you\’ve got it sussed and, I can sleep easy problem solved! Long time since I had a roll mop Jen but, I do have a loo brush (incase I need to mop the toilet rolls), does that count?
Ugghh! MALcolm. What are you like!
