Cullen skink, one of Scotland’s most famous dishes. It’s a thick Scottish soup made of smoked haddock, potatoes and onions and leek. An authentic Cullen skink will use Finnan Haddie, but it may be prepared with any other undyed smoked haddock. This soup is a local speciality, from the town of Cullen in Moray, on the northeast coast of Scotland. Skink is the Scottish term for a knuckle, shin, or hough of beef, so most soups made of these parts were called skink.
