Not very good big bones
Not very good big bones
It's a YES from me!
My favourite white fish in the northern hemisphere. Great taste!. Cod and haddock are boring by comparison
Good fish - too expensive to buy often.
Good quality from Tesco. Hake is my favorite white fish - but, like all white fish, it does need jazzing up a bit with spices. I smoke it and use it in a kedgeree, or in an southern indian curry. You could also do a moqueca (although it is not an authentic fish for that dish). Hake is not particularly cheap.
Tastes worse than pollock
Bad value. Tasted worse than poor quality pollock. I had been told it was supposed to taste nicer. Will not buy again.
Disappointing.
I bought this when stocking up my freezer and defrosted it last night for dinner. I think the fish must have brought quite a bit of the south east Atlantic with it, as I had to use 7 thick sheets of kitchen roll to pat it dry enough to cook, at which point there was just 202 grams left. I think it would have still been too wet to fry successfully - fortunately, I had planned to bake it with a topping so all was not lost but I wouldn't buy it again.
Superb quality
Fantastic quality just as good as the haddock. (I bought a piece of each on this order)My husband minced them together and made the most fabulous fish balls (sorry recipe his secret lol) Amazing fish.
Great for bbq and fry
Great taste and texture. We BBQ steaks and they held together. Good firm texture and flavour
delicious and not always easy to get.

Greek Hake.
Marinate in Oregano, Lemon, garlic and olive oil, light dusting of salt and pepper. Beautiful fish.
Would buy again
I bought these recently and had no issues; fish was tasty and distinctly lacked any 'fishy' smell (I cooked it in the oven). I'm pretty sure it was caught within the EEA and as far as the sizing goes, I purchased in store so was able to select for myself. I'm quite sure the pieces were relatively equal in size.
