Rinse hake fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and lemon juice until smooth.

Dip each hake fillet into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully add the coated hake fillets to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary.

Fry the fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fried hake from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
