How do you know when haddock is cooked?

The best way to tell if your fish is done is by testing it with a fork at an angle, at the thickest point, and twist gently. The fish will flake easily when it's done and it will lose its translucent or raw appearance. A good rule of thumb is to cook the fish to an internal temperature of 140-145 degrees.

Can you pan fry frozen haddock?

Frozen fillets can be used of course, just make sure to fully thaw them before cooking. If you try and pan fry frozen fish fillets, the fish will 'thaw' as you pan fry it, releasing a lot of water, and preventing the fish from crisping up.
