Smoked Haddock with White Sauce (Finnan Haddie with White Sauce - Scotland)
This is a Scottish tradition which is often served for breakfast. Add potatoes, and it becomes a main meal. The name comes from Findon, a village renowned for the industry of curing fish. "Haddie" is a slang term for haddock.
