You can use haddock as a HE on a green day but does anyone know if you can use it as a HE if it's smoked?

TIA

Smoking a white fish doesn't add to or change its composition in any way, so I would say it would be fine.

Anyone who watched Masterchef this week will now know that you poach smoked fish in milk but fresh fish in water with something acidic like lemon juice.

My mother (wonderful woman but not a terrific cook) always used to overcook cod in milk. Took me years to discover that fish was not supposed to taste like that! Or look like that, either!!

Be aware of smoked mackerel as this is very high in syns due to the way it is dried and then smoked

Thanks Brightonsrosie that's why I asked as I remember from doing SW before alot of people were caught out (myself included) thinking that smoked mackerel was free but drying and smoking causes water loss therefore making it lighter which means you could eat more.....a bit like cooked fruit I suppose though not the same process as cooked fruit breaks down the fibres normally broken down by the body whereas smoking means water loss and easier to eat more...I know what I mean lol!
