Haddocker

/ˈhædɒkər/ noun

Definition

A person who fishes for or catches haddock, or a boat/vessel used in haddock fishing.

Etymology

From 'haddock' (a type of fish) plus the agent suffix '-er' (one who does something). This occupational term emerged with commercial fishing industries.

Kelly Says

Haddock was so economically important to North Atlantic communities that fishermen had specific names for their trades—a 'haddocker' was a specialized profession, not just a generic fisherman.
