While not strictly Irish it's far more common in Ireland than corned beef. 

 

 

Oh really? I've spent a lot of time in Ireland over the last 50+ years and often seen and eaten corned beef, but never Finnan haddie.

 

A quick, but unscientific poll among Irish friends suggests that they all know corned beef (as three said, "of course") but only one in ten has heard of Finnan haddie because she once had it when holidaying in Scotland.

 

Not strictly Irish? Not Irish at all.
