English term or phrase: undyed (haddock)
One of the ingredients in a recipe:

smoked cod or haddock (***undyed*** is best)

I don't know how to understand "undyed" in this context. Does it refer to a way the fish is prepared? Or maybe it's a name of a particular haddock species? Or it simply describes the color?

agree  Gillian Scheibelein: smoked haddock is often dyed a yellowish colour (so that it is immediately recognisable as smoked?)

Explanation:

The smoking dyes the haddock.

Another possibility is that the haddock is coloured by feeding it a food colouring. I know this process is used with farmed salmon.

neutral  Tony M: Can't agree with your explanation; smoking colours the haddock naturally, the dyeing is an artificial colour added to make it more pronounced. // :-))

  -> Quite right. Edith's suggestion is better.

neutral  Will Matter: with TD. No artificial dye added is the meaning for this one.
9 hrs
  -> I agree Will. :-)
