According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Seafood Products
Research Center (and a hunch based on something I heard my Newfie Dad
say):
scrod: Vernacular for Atlantic Cod, scientific name Gadus morhua
Also used to refer to Haddock (the other good kind of
Newfie fish) as Scrod Haddock, scientific name Melanogrammus
aeglefinus.
hake: Vernacular for Whiting, which comes in the Southern Atlantic, Argentinian and South American
varieties. Scientific name Merluccius hubbsi.
I like scrod very well, thank you. I have never had (to my
knowledge) hake.
Do I win a prize?
