HADDOCK:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haddock

Fried Haddock

Flaky and golden, fresh from the sea,
Rich flavors awaken taste buds with glee.
Indulgence in every crispy bite.
Exquisite aroma, a pure delight.
Delicate texture, cooked just right.

Hand-battered perfection, seasoned with care,
Aromatic herbs drifting through the air.
Dish served hot, inviting and bright,
Dreams of oceans on plates tonight.
Opulent taste, savory and bold,
Crunchy outside, tender to hold.
Keen to savor, I take another bite.
