Smoked Haddock and Poached Eggs

I think the first time I had this I was about 6 years old. It was a regular weekend treat in our house. My dad used to insist on it. I made it for Jen this morning and she had never had it before. As soon as Jen had finished she announced she was nipping down to the local fishmongers to get some for tomorrow!! Mind you, it was good.

But how to make it…it’s easy!!


1. Get the ingredients together

Very simple this time as there are only 2 real ingredients for this recipe. Smoked haddock and eggs. Oh, and some seasoning if you like.

The only thing you may be taken aback a little over is the way the smoked haddock is cooked. You’re going to poach it in milk. Semi-skimmed is probably best. Full fat is simply not needed and skimmed milk is a little too watery.

So, first of all, put a saucepan of water onto slow boil for the eggs. Add a splash of vinegar to help with the cooking process (see below). Then do the same with the milk. However, for the fish use a large frying pan for the poaching as you will need to lay the fish flat.

2. Prepare the fish

All you need to do here is lay the fish out on a chopping board and trim the tail and flank where there is no real flesh. Then cut the fish in portions to be served.

3. Cooking the smoked haddock

Once the milk is simmering add a sprinkle of Maldons sea salt. Then lay the haddock in the simmering milk skin side down and poach for 6-8 minutes or until the haddock flesh is flaky.

4. Poach the eggs

While waiting for the haddock to poach you should p0ach the eggs. For the egg, I use a ramekin to keep the shape. Crack the eggs into small ramekins and, one by one, gently lower them into the boiling water. I use a set of tongs for this but a large spoon will also do. The key is to get the ramekin to sit on the bottom of the pan without the egg tipping out. Obviously, try and do this as quick as you can because you want the eggs to cooking evenly. Now set a timer for 4 minutes for the large eggs, 3 1/2 minutes if using medium eggs. The eggs will then be done.

5. Remove the haddock and eggs and serve

Once cooked remove the haddock and eggs from their respective cooking vessels and layout on kitchen paper. Gently pat away any excess moisture and then serve the haddock with the egg on the top. I like to add a little Maldons sea salt and ground black pepper just to add to the flavour but this is optional.

And there you have it. A wonderful healthy dish of smoked haddock and poached egg! Yum!

    Everything published made a lot of sense. However, think
    about this, what if you were to create a killer post title?
    I am not suggesting your content is not solid., but what if you added
    something that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean How to make
    Smoked Haddock and Poached Eggs – The Yum Yum Club is a little boring.
    You could look at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news headlines to grab people to
    open the links. You might try adding a video or a picture or
    two to get people excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it might
    bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

      Many thanks for the candid feedback. I fully agree with you. 2.5 months into the blogging journey and I’m happy with what I deem solid content but it does need some wow factor added. Thanks again…
