noun
A North Atlantic fish (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), commonly eaten. In Japanese, often encountered in culinary contexts or as a loanword.
コダラのフライはイギリスの定番料理だ。
Fried haddock is a classic British dish.
スーパーで冷凍のコダラを買った。
I bought frozen haddock at the supermarket.
鱈 (たら) is the general term for cod, while コダラ specifically refers to haddock, a related but distinct species.
The word is a direct loan from English 'haddock', adapted into Japanese as コダラ. The kanji form 小鱈 is a rare ateji-like spelling combining 小 (small) and 鱈 (cod), reflecting the fish's smaller size compared to cod.
