Cullen skink has its roots in Cullen, a small town on the Moray Firth coast of Scotland and is traditionally made using Finnan haddock on the bone but a boneless smoked haddock or other smoked white fish can be used. However, DO AVOID any fish that has been chemically smoked and then dyed a lurid yellow colour.

- Season the Cullen Skink to taste and serve with hearty bread.
