What to do with your fresh Newlyn Hake.
The Hake.......a sleek, powerful predator........
use the minimum of force when handling hake, after cutting around the nape of the neck, hold the head and gently twist the body away.........
use kitchen scissors to remove the fins.........
the flesh is easily separated from the fish's 'ribs' by sliding the thumb along the bone........
the trimmings are more than enough for a superb fish stock........
two tail fillets, two steaks and two loins joints bagged and ready for the pot, freezer or fridge.
To get the most from your fresh Newlyn Hake, watch this excellent video from Sue Lucas at PassionateAboutFish.
