Crispy Fried Hake

Cultural Context

Crispy Fried Hake is a beloved dish in Spain, particularly along the coastal regions where fresh fish is abundant. This dish exemplifies the Spanish love for fried foods, often enjoyed as a tapa or main course. Traditionally, it is served with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of parsley, highlighting the fresh flavors of the fish. In modern cuisine, variations may include different types of fish or seasonings, but the essence of crispy batter and tender fish remains the same.

1

Start with frozen hake steaks, thawed if necessary.

2

Season one side of the hake with salt, garlic powder, and parsley.

3

Flip the hake and season the other side with salt, garlic powder, and parsley.

4

Place plain flour on one plate and beaten egg on another plate.

5

Add oil to a deep frying pan, enough to fry the fish, and turn up the heat.

6

Coat the first hake steak in flour, ensuring it is fully covered.

7

Dip the floured hake steak into the beaten egg, using two forks to handle it.

8

Carefully place the hake in the hot oil and repeat with the second steak.

9

Adjust the heat down slightly to prevent burning as the fish cooks quickly.

10

Turn the hake over once it starts browning to ensure even cooking.

11

Remove the fried hake from the oil and place it on a plate to drain excess oil.
