Large, pale fillets of natural haddock are best for this recipe. In the 1980s, undyed haddock was a rarity, but it is now commonplace in supermarkets. The herbs are deployed with some abandon: when I specify a bunch, I mean enough to produce a good couple of tablespoons of chopped herb.

Ingredients

  • 3 large undyed smoked haddock fillets, about 600 g (1 lb 5 oz

Pull out the few pin bones with tweezers or pliers, then rinse the fillet briefly in cold water. Now carve the fillet
