About
THE KING OF THE SEA
The name hake is derived from Haki, a mythological Scandinavian Sea King, and today the Spanish still refer to hake as “the king of the sea.” So why all these royal monikers and associations? Well, hake is prized for its delicate flesh and mild flavour, as well as its incredible versatility in the kitchen, which allows it to be fried, grilled, baked, braised, cooked in foil or used in soups and stews. All our hake is sourced from long line fishermen departing Cape Town harbour and fishing off Cape Point.
CONTENT
5kg Box of Hake Fillets (approx. 350g per fillet)

Instructions
Your Hake fillets will arrive frozen with individually wrapped fillets for convenience. Simply store in your freezer (up to 3 months) and use at your leisure. It is best to remove product from packaging to defrost, simply place on a tray in your fridge and allow to thaw slowly.
Any special requests or instructions can be left in the NOTES section at the Checkout. Eg: Your doorbell does not work, you require a phone call before the order arrives, you would like the fillets / steaks vacuum packed seperately or cut into smaller portions etc.

Eco rating
While hake is a slow growing fish, they are serial spawners, and this makes them incredibly resilient to fishing pressures. In fact, even hake caught through trawling is rated green by SASSI, but in line with our commitment to doing the least harm possible we exclusively source our hake from long line fishermen, for the most ecologically friendly catch possible. And better quality than trawlers.

Fishwife Recipes
Crispy Crumbed Hake
Our partner site The Fishwife has shared this wonderful (and easy to make) crumbed hake recipe. You will need:
- 2 x Hake Fillets
- 1/2 Cup Cornflake Crumbs (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE)
- Salt & Pepper
- Shards of butter (approx 2-3 Tbsp)
Preparation:
- If you are using frozen hake fillets, you can allow them to defrost in the fridge overnight.
- Line a baking tray with tin foil and grease with spray and cook.
- Pat dry the fillets on both sides and place on the baking tray skin side down.
- Season the fillets with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the cornflake crumbs over the fillets (about 1/4 cup per fillet). Use your finger or the back of a spoon to evenly coat.
- Slice thin shards of butter and evenly space over the fillets.
- Switch the grill on to low and place the tray under the grill for approximately 2 minutes allowing the butter to melt.
- Once the butter has melted remove from the oven and add extra shards of butter to any areas that have been missed and remained dry.
- Place the tray back under the grill, this time on a medium heat setting on the second shelf from the top.
- Grill for 10 minutes and remove from the oven.
- The crumbs should be a nice golden colour.
- Serve immediately with a side or two of your choice.

Always fresh and beautifully packaged. Same day delivery!!
South AfricaConsistent and high standards
I order from these guys for my restaurant every second day. Easy and efficient ordering online system and have never not received my order (as some suppliers have let us down) great selection of produce. Consistent is key with them.
South AfricaWe love the fish, but preferred the old packaging
Hi there, We do enjoy your hake boxes –– although preferred the delivery in cardboard boxes instead of the polystyrene. Each fillet is additionally packed in a blue plastic, which could perhaps also be changed to be done with compostable material? Otherwise, great same-day delivery, fish arrived frozen and was of good quality. Thank you.
South AfricaKabeljou fillets

Best size hake that I could find.
South AfricaBest Hake
What a find! Hake was delicious. Nice big fillets, individually wrapped and easy to remove from batch. The polystyrene box in which the 5kg Hake comes fits neatly into freezer.
South AfricaAmazing!!!!
I placed my first order with Green Fish not sure what to expect but wanted to give them a try. Oh wow!!!! what an amazing experience. Ordered on the Tuesday afternoon and got it Wednesday morning. The hake tasted so good and 1 portion was enough for me and my husband although I wanted more afterwards :-). I had such a good experience and we will definitely order from them again and also try other products. Thank you Green fish for exceeding all our expectations.
South AfricaAlways happy!
Individually wrap, perfect for individual meals without having to defrost the entire box.
