Haddock worth going after?

So I gather that boats that target haddock at this time of year, are doing well. Have never caught one before. OTW had an article saying that were really good to eat a variety of different ways including chowder. True? Wouldn't mind doing that once a year.

Early season the meat can be a little mushy, but if you like cod you will love haddock! A lot less worms in the haddock

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Haddock is probably the best eating fin fish in the Gulf of Maine.

Haddock is kind of a boring eating fish if you ask me. Not bad but nothing special

You got to be kidding me.
What do you consider a “special” tasting fish, blue Fish ?

Like almost any food, it depends on the chef.

I generally hate bluefish but had some at a catered wedding a few years back that was one of the best fish I've ever eaten.

For sure. I'm a pretty solid home cook by the way. I've made Haddock and it's been great but it could have been anything and it would have been great.
