Haddock Hack or Poor Man's Lobster

Dissolve one cup sugar and one cup salt in a half gallon of water.....Bring to a boil.

Drop Haddock cubes (1" X 1" or so) into boiling salt/sugar water a cube or three at a time while maintaining the boil. Adding too many will kill the boil.

Remove when the Haddock cubes float.....Dip in drawn butter.

Tastes just like lobster.

This was really popular back when Haddock was one of the cheapest fish you could buy.....Oldsters might remember the frozen 2# "blocks" of Haddock at the store.....They were usually right next to the bait shrimp.
