Hake is closely related to cod but has a milder flavour. Like cod it has has large firm white flakes. Hake is a sustainable fish and is certified as such by the Marine Stewardship Council. These large fillets can be used in so many dishes, but makes elegant hake goujons if dipped in tempura batter and deep fried. (* approx weight)
Recipe
Tempura hake goujons
tempura batter
100g plain flour
50g cornflour
1 egg and 1 egg yolk, beaten
100ml ice water
Combine the two flours, beat the ice water into the egg mix, quickly stir the flours into the egg/water mix. Just stir the mixture for a short time, it is normal for the batter to have lumps and clumps.
Pat the hake fillet dry and cut into even strips. Heat a pan half filled with rape seed oil until a bread cube, dropped into it, browns within one minute.
Dip the hake strips into the tempura batter, then carefully drop into the hot oil. When the goujons are golden brown lift out and drain on kitchen roll.
Serve with lemon wedges.

Rapeseed oil has long been known to the health conscious due to its having 10 times higher omega 3 when compared to olive oil, plus a high vitamin E content. Harvested in France, the tiny black seeds are lovingly cold-pressed and then the first pressings are filtered to make the Extra Virgin.
