Details
Hake is Spain's favourite fish and the Welsh love it as their fish & chips fish! Hake has a silvery/olive green skin and a tender creamy flesh and is very under-rated. Thankfully it is now becoming respected by fish lovers here as a tasty prime white fish. Our buyers always select the 2 to 3 kilo sized fish because they are mature but not too big to be damaged when being landed.
