Hake Fillet Portions Skin On x 2 200g x 2 | Campbells Meat

Hake has a subtle and delicious flavour similar to and - according to many - superior to cod. The soft white flesh firms up on cooking, resulting in a dense meaty texture. Hake are slender, deep sea members of the cod family, immensely popular in Spain and Italy. They have a long, round, almost snake like body with grey and silver coloured skin. The lateral line is white, edged black on either side. The large mouth displays sharp, pointy teeth, giving it a vicious appearance. They are slow growing, reaching over 100cm and 15kg in weight and mainly feed on prawns which creates a pinky white coloured flesh. We buy the whole fish on the daily auctions at Scrabster, Peterhead, or Shetland. Our fishmongers remove the scales before filleting and and portioning the fish. We work hard to bring you only the very freshest fish available.
