Etymology

The word 'haddock' comes from Middle English 'haddeke,' which is a diminutive form of 'hรฆdde,' meaning 'devil fish'. It was likely used in reference to the fish's dark dorsal fin and its association with the colder waters of the North Atlantic. The name is thought to have connections to the Old Norse word 'haddokkr', which reflects the fish's long history in maritime culture. Haddock has been a significant part of fishing economies in Europe, especially in England and Scotland, where it is commonly sought after and consumed. The fish has also appeared in literature, contributing to its recognition in various cuisines, especially in British culinary tradition where it is a beloved addition to meals.
