Findon

/ˈfɪndən/ noun

Definition

A type of smoked haddock from Findon, a fishing village in Scotland, prized for its delicate flavor.

Etymology

Named after Findon (also spelled Findhorn), a small fishing community in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The smoking technique developed there became so famous the fish itself took the village's name.

Kelly Says

Place-names on food tell stories of reputation—Findon haddock is protected by tradition so fiercely that only fish smoked in that specific Scottish village can legally claim the name, just like champagne must come from France.
