| Hake become sexually mature relatively late which means overfished stocks will recover slowly. This means it is important to buy only fully grown fish from sustainable fisheries. | Hake are nocturnal hunters. Their favorite prey are smaller schooling fish such as herring, sprat, mackerel, and sardines. |
