The way they flash freeze seafood these days, I bet you never would have known it was frozen if you didn't ask. I think you would be surprised at how many places do not serve fresh fish especially this time of year.
Won't be long before Bart's Seafood down the street will be opening if you crave fresh seafood. You will have to cook it yourself.

I can deal with frozen chicken, I refuse to eat frozen haddock around here, doesn't matter how you froze it, it's not as good. That being said, as secondcurve said, it is a good pub style place with friendly people. I'd go back.

Tis,your friend from Maine is right.Let's say the fresh haddock is caught on Monday,iced down on the boat for several days,then goes to the dock for auction,then the processing houses.then the wholesalers and finally gets delivered to the stores and restaurants where it may remain for several more days until sold....Some "fresh" fish is well over a week old when it arrives at the store or served to you in a restaurant.
On the other hand,fish frozen at sea is cleaned,filleted and frozen within hours of being caught and arrives at retail stores in perfect condition.
I would only buy fresh haddock if it came from a "day boat"...and those are few,since it takes up to a week to catch the limit.
I'm sure some will disagree,but that's my humble opinion.

Sam, that is exactly what he said! You could be him speaking! And his fish was always the best! Glad to hear you agree. I don't think your opinion should be considered humble. I think you should know.

Well, I certainly would be up for fish restaraunt crawl this summer to compare, fresh frozen vs. fresh haddock....

Chances are your eating frozen haddock more than you know.Most people think because a restaraunt says the haddock is "fresh" that it was never frozen.The majority of haddock sold is frozen right after being caught and thawed as its being distributed which makes it appear that it was bought "fresh".

I was in Buckey's tonight and they had notices posted that as of 3-15-2008 they will begin serving breakfast on Sat, Sun, Monday from 6-11. I am not much of a breakfast eater, but the few times that I have waited in line at the Village Kitchen (Country Cooking) I had hoped someone would do something in the form of competition.

I hope it is as good as their other meals are!
