DID YOU KNOW?

Hake is one of the healthiest fish because the tender meat is very low in fat and also contains phosphorus and calcium for healthy bone growth. Hake are fished in the Southeast, Southwest, and Northeast Pacific and the Southeast and Northeast Atlantic.

DID YOU KNOW?

Hake is one of the healthiest fish because the tender meat is very low in fat, and also contains phosphorus and calcium for healthy bone growth.

Hake are fished in the Southeast, Southwest, and Northeast Pacific and the Southeast and Northeast Atlantic.

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.
