Talk:Haddock

A note
Wow, the article describes it as both delicious and pretty! Now I want one.

OK - I've reverted back to the edit I made this morning. Pleasel leave it the way it is. The edit adds information, as well as remving an inaccuracy. Smoked haddock is not generally known as Finnan haddie - that's just one form. Further, I have removed the statement that Finnan haddie is the most famous form. Arbroath smokies have EU designation and will therefore be just as widely recognised.--Jamesfmun 13:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Another note
"Reaching sizes up to 1100 mm" - that's a ridiculous and counterintuitive choice of unit. Large millimetre measurements are appropriate for technical drawings and not the description of a fish, unless it's really small, since it implies way too much accuracy and is not immediately comprehensible. Nobody would ever say, "hey, looksie here, this fish is eleven hundred millimetres long." I don't know what the Wikipedia policy is on the matter, but that's awful use of metric units, so I'd change that to 110 cm, which is appropriate, understandable and utterable. Heck, even 1.1 m would sound better. - John

There is OMEGA-3 in haddock right?--Blackmage337 (talk) 19:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

As you can see from the nutritional info haddock is low in fat like most demersal fish so no, it is not a notable source of Omega-3. For that you'd want to look at fish which live closer to the surface of the sea, e.g. herring.Scunnerous (talk) 09:33, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Health concerns?
Are there any concerns with eating haddock? Mercury or other pollutants? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.132.1.254 (talk) 19:50, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Loophole
If the ICAN labels it as vulnerable while normally it would be illegal to hunt or catch there is a loophole in the laws that causes this not to be covered under ESA in the US and allows fishing of this species  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.169.178.242 (talk) 11:13, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Fisheries
I have edited the section on Fisheries and the reference to Greenpeace. Many fish species articles have an almost identical phrase in the article "In 2010, Greenpeace International added the fish x to its seafood red list. "The Greenpeace International seafood red list is a list of fish that are commonly sold in supermarkets around the world, and which have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries."" I have attempted to make this section easier to understand and added the opinions of other environmental organizations as Greenpeace isn´t the only one producing a red list for fish. I also added why Greenpeace considers this species unsustainable as there are many criteria considered when assessing the sustainability of a species.
