hake
Hake are found deep in the warmer waters of the Northeast Atlantic and are abundant on the Scotian Shelf. It tends to have a very mild taste, slightly sweet meat and cream-coloured to slightly-pink flesh, which has a somewhat coarse, watery texture. They have a similar flavour as cod, but with a milder taste, a softer texture, and a smaller flake. This lean, versatile fish is delicious baked, battered and fried, or in soups and stews. Or try grilling or broiling it and serving it whole.
