Comforting Cullen Skink

downtonabbeycooks · January 20, 2019 ·

Cullen skink is like the Scottish version of clam chowder.  It is made with  smoked haddock, potatoes and onions.

An authentic Cullen skink will use finnan haddie, but any smoked haddock will do . This soup is a local speciality, from the town of Cullen in Moray, on the north-east coast of Scotland, and often is found on a Robert Burns Supper menu.
