  • About

Cullen is a small village on the Moray coast, and this thick fish broth – or skink – is the local speciality. Delicious it is too!

Ingredients

  • lb (750 g) finnan haddock fillets
  • 2 large onions, quartered

Method

Poach the haddock, onions and potatoes in the milk until cooked and all broken down. Strain and reserve the milk. Process the fish mixture in a liquidiser.

Melt the butter and stir in the flour. Gradually add the reserved milk, stirring; add more milk if necessary. Then add the fish mixture and season to taste, taking care with the salt as the soup will already be fairly salty.
