Did You Know?

White fish like haddock is naturally low in fat and high in protein — making it a brilliant choice for a healthy, satisfying meal.

It’s no wonder haddock is a firm favourite across the Highlands.

❄️ Cold Weather Comfort Recipe ❄️

Creamy Smoked Haddock & Potato Soup (Cullen Skink-Style)

When the weather turns chilly, this is proper comfort food — warming, simple, and full of flavour.

You’ll need:

Smoked haddock (undyed if possible)
1 onion, finely chopped
2–3 potatoes, peeled and diced
500ml milk
A k**b of butter
Black pepper
Fresh parsley or chives (optional)

Method:

Gently poach the smoked haddock in the milk for 5–6 minutes. Remove the fish, keep the milk, and flake the haddock into chunks.

In a pan, melt the butter and soften the onion until translucent.

Add the potatoes and the reserved milk. Simmer gently until the potatoes are soft.

Stir in the flaked haddock and warm through — don’t boil.

Season with plenty of black pepper and finish with parsley or chives if you like.

Serve with crusty bread and enjoy while it’s steaming hot 🥣

Perfect for cold evenings, blustery days, or when you just fancy something comforting.

🏆 A Proud Moment We’re Still Smiling About 🏆

We were absolutely delighted to be mentioned by The Cabin at John O’ Groats when they were named Finalists for Best Chip Shop in the North East at the Scottish Fish & Chip Awards.

They very kindly credited Bell’s Seafood, Scrabster for supplying their genuine, local fresh haddock — and we’re incredibly proud to have played a small part in their success.

It’s always a pleasure working with businesses who care as much about quality, provenance and doing things properly as they do.

The Cabin at John O' Groats



Huge congratulations again to the team at The Cabin 👏
