We boil 3 medium cleaned haddock in a pot with a small amount of water. Once cooled, we remove the bones and place the fish in a bowl. We add 2 boiled potatoes, 1 handful of parsley, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1/2 dessert spoon of mustard, 1 tablespoon of flour, 1/2 dessert spoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper flakes, then knead all the ingredients together by hand. We shape the mixture into round balls about the size of a mandarin orange and refrigerate for half an hour. We dip the prepared balls into 1 beaten egg, then coat them in breadcrumbs and fry in hot oil.

About This Recipe

Haddock, whose native habitat is known to be the Atlantic Ocean, belongs to the Gadidae family. In our country, it can be found in nearly all of our seas. The currents that occur especially during the winter months cause the Sea of Marmara to fill up with haddock.

Thanks to its high vitamin B content, it is an excellent remedy for fatigue. Consuming haddock regularly once a week prevents the body from feeling exhausted and weak. It strengthens the immune system, supports brain development, and helps improve cognitive health. It is particularly effective in reducing the risk of memory-related diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Rich in folic acid, haddock is beneficial for heart and vascular diseases. The iodine it contains helps regulate your thyroid hormones. Haddock is of great importance for thyroid production and healthy functioning. According to research conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, haddock is highly effective in preventing major health problems such as cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis. It is a healing source for diabetic patients due to its ability to regulate blood sugar. It is also a true powerhouse in terms of protein — 100 grams of haddock contains the average daily protein requirement for a person. It is also rich in potassium. As is well known, potassium helps strengthen muscles and regulate blood pressure. When this important mineral is not taken in sufficient amounts, weakness begins in the nerves and muscles. In addition to all of this, it has a very rich content of vitamins A, D, B12, and B6. It improves cell functions. These vitamins are very important for gum health, eye health, and hair health. Thanks to its high fiber content, it regulates the digestive system. The niacin and riboflavin found in haddock take on the role of metabolizing emotional and neurological response systems.
