This is a traditional Scottish soup that's somewhere between a chowder and cullen skink, but which is slightly lighter than both.

Ingredients:

1 fresh haddock
any fish trimmings
2 onions
3 tbsp butter
60g plain flour
300ml milk
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
1 tbsp catsup
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
parsley, to garnish

Method:

Fillet the haddock then make a stock with the haddock head, tail and bones (and any other fish trimmings you might have), the chopped onions, salt and black pepper (you will need about 1.5l in all). Bring to a boil and cook for about 50 minutes then strain.

When the stock is ready, melt the butter in a pan, scatter the flour over the top and stir to form a smooth roux. Whisk in the milk and fish stock until smooth.

Cut the haddock into pieces, add to the stock then bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the fish is done through. Add a little catsup to taste, pour into a warmed tureen and serve.
