WHAT DOES FINNAN HADDOCK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

finnan haddock

Finnan haddie

Finnan haddie, also known as Finnan haddock and Finnan or Findrum speldings, is cold-smoked haddock, representative of a regional method of smoking with green wood and peat in north-east Scotland. Its origin is the subject of a debate, as some sources attribute the origin to the hamlet of Findon, Aberdeenshire, near Aberdeen, while others insist that the name is a corruption of the village name of Findhorn at the mouth of the River Findhorn in Moray. The "dispute" goes back to the eighteenth century, although it is hard to trace, as adherents fail to acknowledge even the possibility of the alternative view. It may have been a popular dish in Aberdeenshire since at least as early as the 1640s. Although known and admired in Scotland for a long time, Finnan haddie became a popular food item in London only in the 1830s. In earlier times, because of the light smoking that the fish received, it did not have a long shelf life—by most contemporary estimates, at most three days. Thus, although the fish was often available in Aberdeen "within twelve hours of being ", the distance to London was at that time nearly insurmountable if spoilage was to be avoided.
