The Haddock (Gadus morhua) is a saltwater fish species that is part of the Gadidae family. It is predominantly found in the North Atlantic Ocean and is a popular choice for culinary purposes.
Etymology
The term "Haddock" is believed to have originated from the Old English word "hædduc", which means "a kind of fish". The term was first recorded in the English language in the 14th century.

The color ranges from silvery white to black, with a distinctive dark blotch above the pectoral fin - often described as a "thumbprint" or "Devil's thumbprint".

Haddock inhabit the cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. They are demersal fish, living at depths of up to 200 meters, although they can be found as deep as 300 meters. Their range spans from North Carolina in the United States to the waters around Iceland and the northernmost reaches of the British Isles.
