Hake

[jennyjoan]

Errr - never again - Fresh Hake - looked lovely from fishmongers - layers and layers - fried it and found it utterly tasteless. Threw it out.

It would be a few years since I bought fresh fish and it probably will be another few years - may stick to chippie.

However what fish do you find tasty, tasty, they're very tasty. No not cornflakes. LOL

Jenny you would be lucky to get a fish that big from the chippie here in London!!! It is more like a fish finger you're getting and all for £8!!!

JJ how long did you cook it for ?

[ummmm]

For some reason she seems to be avoiding that question!

JJ I bet you overcooked your hake - it's a beautiful fish when lightly cooked.

Ummmm - you asked how I cooked it - if you read my original post - you will find the answer.

[EcclesCake]

You said you'd fried but you been also asked how long for, which is important too.

[ummmm]

Fried it in what, how long for, did it have skin on?

[jennyjoan]

Another Hake bites the dust. Won't be buying it again anyhow.

Haddock, cod loin, fresh tuna steak, salmon.

Why won't you ask a simple question, you could well get some help to make it better next time.

[EcclesCake]

Not ask, I meant answer.

[ummmm]

Just tell us how you cooked it JJ...what is so hard about that?

Most of us have made cooking mistakes over the years.

This sounds like a tradesman blaming his tools...

[DTCwordfan]

Jenny, folk tend to overcook fish, the biggest mistake there is, secondly, they don't let it rest a little....thirdly often they don't allow for the skin and it buckles - a little scoring is a good thing......so Ummmm's and Eccles' questions are fair ones.....Hake, properly cooked is delish but it needs a little delicate handling, as do a lot of white fish.

[Islay]

I wager we will never find out how long it was cooked for.

I love mackerel, but I also love cod from the chippie !
