Smoked Haddock & Bacon Gratin

What is it?

Smoked haddock and bacon sit in a creamy cheese sauce, finished as a gratin and sold frozen for oven cooking. Fish brings flakes with a firm texture once heated, while the bacon adds salt and a bit of smoke. Meal range leans heavily on ready-made comfort food, and this sits in that part of the lineup rather than the lighter fish dishes. It's usually baked from frozen until the sauce bubbles and the top turns lightly browned. Smoking process on the haddock gives the fish a golden colour and a deeper flavour than plain white fish, and the bacon reinforces that smokiness. Cheese sauce brings everything together into a rich, gratin-style bake that works well with crusty bread or green vegetables on the side.
