Fish Recipes Hake
Know any good recipes for Blue Hake?
It’s a kind of fish. My mom bought a box of it and we’re trying to think of something interesting to do with it.
Savory Blue Hake
From Schwans’ box. This is good and simple. I know that the addition of the butter on the top of the dish seems like too much, but it really is necessary. If it’s left out, the dish gets way too dry. It would be neat if someone would modify this recipe to their taste using different cheese and herbs. Let me know, OK?
2 lbs hake, loins
2 large onions, sliced very thin
4 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1 tablespoon dill weed
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups dry breadcrumbs
1 cup cheddar cheese, sharp, grated
8 ounces butter, sliced thin
6 servings
40 minutes 10 mins prep
Heat oven to 400°F.
Saute onion in oil or butter until just translucent. Add garlic, stir well and remove from heat. Set aside.

Place loins in prepared pan. Sprinkle with dill mixture.
Layer onion/garlic, then crumbs, then cheese on loins.

Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes until fish flakes with fork.

Battered Blue Hake or Whitefish Pan Fried Recipe #173226
Blue Hake is from New Zealand. I cut the loins in chunks and batter.Pan fried is quick, easy and does not require a lot of oil. I love to use paprika in my batter. Everything is a golden brown to deep brown and very light tasting.
1 1/2-2 lbs thick blue hake fillets or white fish fillets
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt or salt substitute
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons milk
4-6 servings
30 minutes 10 mins prep
I use 3 long thick pieces of fish. I cut in 3 inch chunks. Dry the chunks of fish with paper towels. Set Aside.
In small mixing bowl, beat eggs, water, salt and paprika.
In medium mixing bowl, add flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Mix well.
Add egg mixture and beat in, if too thick, add milk 1 tablspoon at a time. The batter should be thick to hold on to the fish, not.
runny.
Use tongs to dip the fish chunks into batter. Use a spoon to place batter on the top of the chunk after it is in the pan.
Preheat frying pan to medium high heat with 1/4 cup vegetable oil. After bottom is golden brown, turn once, press down on top slightly with spatula to insure heat distribution. Fry fish in two separate batches using the balance of vegetable oil for the second batch. Keep warm in the oven until all fish is cooked. The batter is very light tasting, not soaked with oil.
Use a dipping sauce of your choice.
If you use this batter on thin fillets, use a slotted spoon to dip the fish into batter.

To Thaw: For best results, thaw blue hake fillets in a covered pan in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours. For quick thawing, place fish in an airtight bag or its original packaging and submerge in a pan of cold water. Do not thaw fish at room temperature. Do not refreeze.
Heat vegetable oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season blue hake fillets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and place in hot skillet.
Cook approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. For added flavor, sprinkle with lemon juice.
Combine sour cream, onion salt, vinegar, Tabasco and cucumber; chill in refrigerator.
Serve fillets with chilled cucumber sauce.
