Fresh Maine Haddock

Do you want to know the reason why fresh haddock reigns supreme here in Maine?

Haddock is delicious, plentiful and is landed fresh everyday at our local wharves. Fresh haddock is a sustainable staple of the New England diet. 

Landed locally in Portland, Maine, our haddock is cut on our wharf and sold fresh as fillets. While it retains its delicate, mild yet sweet taste, haddock has a firmness to the fillet that it allows it to stand up to a fry, saute, and stew but can also be boiled and poached. 

Flaky & low in fat, it's great baked or added to a chowder—but of course, it also makes a mean fish & chips! No matter how you chose to prepare it, Maine haddock is easy to cook, and has so much versatility when it comes to prep preferences and recipes. 

Comes in your choice of 2, 4 or 6 pounds.

Haddock benefits from being prepared battered, stewed, or sauced - and also lends itself very well to freezing - store unused portions for future meals when buying in larger quantities.

Receiving Fresh Fish:

Keep your Fresh fish exposed to unsafe temperatures for as short a time as possible. 

Do not allow the fish to set outside refrigeration for any length of time unless preparing to cook. Fresh fish should be placed in a plastic bag to prevent any leakage from contaminating any other foods. To maintain the quality of the fish, it needs to be kept at a temperature under 40°F and refrigerated as soon as possible upon receipt. 

Storage Instructions

In the Refrigerator for 2-4 days with gel packs in a soft zip up cooler bag is the best.

Remove the fish from the packaging. Thoroughly rinse the fish in cold water. Pat it dry with a paper towel. Line a plate or pan with a double layer of paper towels and place the fish on the towels. Cover them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place in the coldest part of the refrigerator, the top shelf in the back. 

Be sure the fish is tightly wrapped so that if there are any juices from the raw fish, they will not come in contact with any other food.

In Freezer for up to 4 months if not cryovac sealed. If cryovac sealed, much longer. 

If you do not have a Vacuum Sealer at home:

• Be sure you have freezer bags. They are much thicker than regular Zip Locks.
• Lay the freezer bag flat on the counter and place the fish in flat as well.
• Be sure to press all the air out and then seal the freezer bag.
• Grab some newspaper or butcher paper. Get 3 strands of paper. Lay the freezer bag with fish onto the newspaper and then fold the paper around the fish. Imagine yourself as a butcher. Then, seal the flaps with some tape and then write on the tape what you are freezing.

Cooking & Serving

When cooking and serving fish, the meat must be handled properly to prevent contamination. Use a different platter and cooking utensils for cooked fish than what was used for the raw fish, unless they have been properly cleaned and dried after exposure to the raw fish.

Be sure the raw fish does not come in contact with foods that have already been cooked or foods that do not require cooking before being consumed, such as raw vegetables and fruit.If taking cooked fish to be served at another location, be sure to pack the fish so it maintains the proper temperatures. If you are keeping it hot, it should maintain at least a 140°F temperature and if it is cold, it must be kept at or below 40°F.
