Put frozen hake fish in water to defrost.

Once the fish is soft, begin cleaning by scraping off the scales with a small knife.

Cut off any sharp sides of the fish to avoid them in the food.

Scrape both sides of the fish to ensure it is clean.

Place the cleaned fish in a basket.

Clean the sink briefly before rinsing the fish again in water for a second cleaning.

Add about half a teaspoon of salt to the fish and toss it to coat evenly.

Pour cooking oil into the frying pan and heat it until hot.

Carefully place the fish in the hot oil, ensuring the oil is not too hot to avoid splashes.

Fry the fish on high heat until brown areas appear, then turn the fish over.

Fry the second side for about 5 to 6 minutes, checking at intervals for a lovely shade of golden brown.
