A type of smoked haddock fish, particularly from Scotland, known for its distinctive golden color and smoky flavor.
From Finnan, a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where this smoking method originated. The term emerged in the 19th century as the process became commercially significant in that region.
Finnan haddock became so famous that the Scottish village's name literally became the name of the cooking method—when a place gets attached to food that way, it usually means that place was *the* place to get it!
