Wow, the article describes it as both delicious and pretty! Now I want one.
OK - I've reverted back to the edit I made this morning. Pleasel leave it the way it is. The edit adds information, as well as remving an inaccuracy. Smoked haddock is not generally known as Finnan haddie - that's just one form. Further, I have removed the statement that Finnan haddie is the most famous form. Arbroath smokies have EU designation and will therefore be just as widely recognised.--Jamesfmun 13:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
"Reaching sizes up to 1100 mm" - that's a ridiculous and counterintuitive choice of unit. Large millimetre measurements are appropriate for technical drawings and not the description of a fish, unless it's really small, since it implies way too much accuracy and is not immediately comprehensible. Nobody would ever say, "hey, looksie here, this fish is eleven hundred millimetres long." I don't know what the Wikipedia policy is on the matter, but that's awful use of metric units, so I'd change that to 110 cm, which is appropriate, understandable and utterable. Heck, even 1.1 m would sound better. - John
