Arbroath is a small fishing town on the east coast of Scotland, situated just to the north of Dundee. Arbroath is famous for its smoked haddock and the Arbroath Smokie is a particular kind of small smoked haddock from that town. These are lightly smoked and a golden brown in colour and there is no real substitute for them.

As well as being the haddock themselves the term 'Arbroath Smokie' is used for a breakfast dish made of the haddock.

Ingredients:

4 Arbroath smokies (smoked haddock)
150ml single cream
1 bunch watercress, to garnish
salt and black pepper, to taste

Method:

Add the smokies to a pan and just cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Discard the cooking water (or keep for fish stock) then add the cream to the pan. Simmer gently for 5 minutes then season to taste.

Place the fish in a serving dish, spoon the cream sauce over the top and garnish with the watercress before serving.
