Haddock and cod are both members of the
family Gadidae. Before the advent of refrigeration,
cod was preferred due to it's suitability
for salting. Presently, fresh and frozen
haddock have now become the consumer's
number one choice, presenting a more delicate,
slightly sweeter flavour than cod. 
NEW!!! - Hook & Line Fresh Haddock
A Sustainable Alternative
Goldwater
Seafoods is proud to offer the highest quality haddock caught using
only traditional hook and line, from independent fishers along the
south shore of Nova Scotia. We purchase only fish which are properly
handled the moment it is removed from the hook. Our goal is to
maintain that perfect quality from hook to your table. To accomplish
this, fish are removed by hand into a slush tank. Slush is a mixture
of seawater and ice. This prolongs the breakdown of protein and
maintains that fresh caught flavour. Fish remain in slush until hand
cut into fillets. Fishing vessels employed for this method make day
trips (maximum 2 days) in order to maximize conditions for handling
this slushed product. Once filleted, we do our utmost to deliver the
product to your business or home within 24 hours. This product is so
fresh, we believe a 5 day refrigerated shelf life is entirely
possible.
Not
only can we provide the best fresh haddock product available, but
Goldwater promotes stewardship practices essential for a thriving
fishery. Purchasing locally caught and processed fish are also
important values inherent in our company policy.

Haddock are a bottom dwelling
species, which is caught on both sides
of the North Atlantic. It is smaller
than cod and can be distinguished by
a dark lateral line and a black spot
behind the gills, known as the "Devil's
Thumbprint". Average length and
weight is 50 - 60cm. and 1 - 2.5 kg.
respectively. The meat provides excellent
nutrition, low in fat and is an good
source of sodium and potassium. Cooking
is restricted only to one's imagination,
the most popular North American presentation
being battered fish and chips. Smoked
haddock is also a very popular and has
been made famous as Finnan Haddie.
