About this dish

An authentic Cullen skink will use finnan haddie, but it may be prepared with any other undyed smoked haddock. Sometimes ocean perch or salmon are used in the soup. It is often served as a starter at formal Scottish dinners but is also widely served as a common dish across Scotland, especially in the northeast. Cullen skink appears in many traditional Scottish cookery books and restaurant and hotel menus throughout Scotland, the rest of the UK and abroad.
