Smoked Finnan Haddock with Egg Sauce
True Finnan haddocks are smoked in Findon (corrupted to Finnan), near Aberdeen, but any properly smoked haddock - brownish not bright yellow in colour - will do for this dish
Ingredients
- 2 Finnan haddocks each weighing about 10 oz
- 1 bay leaf
- pepper
- 1/2 pint fresh milk
- 1 oz butter
- 1 oz plain flour
- 2 eggs hard-boiled and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Put the haddock, skin side down, in a large frying pan. Add the bay leaf and pepper to taste, then pour over the milk. Bring to the boil, then gently simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, until tender.
- Transfer the fish to a warmed serving dish with a fish slice, reserving the milk. Cover and keep warm.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and cook gently, stirring, for 1 — 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the reserved milk. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, then simmer for 2 - 3 minutes until thick and smooth. Stir in the eggs and parsley. Pour the sauce into a sauceboat or jug and serve with the fish. Accompany with boiled potatoes.
