More Information
Haddock have "St. Peter's thumbprint" on their sides, behind the gill covering. This refers to Jesus' disciple, Peter, who was a fisherman and can be imagined leaving this mark when picking up the fish. Haddock start life at the surface of the ocean, seeking shelter and tiny tidbits to eat under jellyfishes. When they're about 2" long, they drop to the bottom looking for bigger prey. They're an important food fish for humans and have been overexploited. We eat them fresh, frozen, smoked (as finnan haddie) and canned.
