Hake

Hake is a fine large fish in the cod family. The flesh can tend to be soft, so it needs a little extra care when cooking. At least a dozen kinds of hake are fished commercially around the world. We sell three of them: our own English hake (which we think is a touch above the others); South African hake, which is frozen at sea and arrives here as skinless, boneless fillets, and Chilean hake which is quite similar to South African (we may not always have all three in stock). In Spain, where there is a deep appreciation for all seafood, hake is considered a very special fish.
