Haddock Casino
Haddock Casino. Think clams casino topping but on top of buttery, flaky haddock. Crispy bacon, caramelized onions, flaky breadcrumbs, roma tomatoes, and parsley topping this deliciously flaky white fish. You can pretty much use any white fish but today we’re having this super fresh haddock. So if you’re a big clams casino fan…you need to try this because it’s SO good !!
We loveeee a good clams casino appetizer. Honestly, I am disappointed because we did not make them once all summer. Now it’s late summer, early fall and I was totally inspired by the classic clams casino to make a white fish inspired “casino” topping.
This topping is filled with all your usual clams casino fillings…with a liiiittle variation. You’ve got the bacon of course…the most important part. Then there’s all those diced tomatoes, crispy breadcrumbs. fresh parsley, a little caramelized onion. It’s the best of clams Casino on top of a buttery flaky white fish. And guys trust me….it’s delicious.
This is the first Thursday since April that I haven’t been at the shore. It is literally the weirdest feeling and I am definitely not loving it. But at least the weather is rainy. Because if it was sunny and beautiful I think I would be even more depressed.
But I guess it is time to start embracing fall because it is going to be here before we all know it !! Happy almost weekend guys !!
