M&S Food Wild Icelandic Haddock Fillets
What it is
These are pre-portioned, skinless, and boneless fillets of haddock sourced from the cold, clear waters of Iceland. Haddock is a white fish known for its mild flavor and flaky texture. The fillets are typically frozen shortly after being caught to preserve their freshness and quality. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy a healthy and delicious seafood option at home, ready for a variety of culinary preparations.
How people cook with it
Haddock fillets are versatile and can be prepared in numerous ways to suit different tastes and meal occasions.
- Pan-fried with lemon
- Baked with herbs
- Used in fish pies

To prepare, thaw the haddock fillets completely in the refrigerator. For pan-frying, pat them dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until opaque and flaky. For baking, place fillets in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and season with your favorite herbs and spices. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through. They can also be coated in batter and fried or added to stews and casseroles.
