Hake is in season now and I am loving it as it is one of my favourite fish. Today I am sharing a super simple recipe to cook fish in the oven, as when the hake is fresh there is no need to add many ingredients.

I love fish and for me the best way to cook it is to keep it simple with just few ingredients and no herbs.

Go to the market or to the fishmonger and ask for hake, it is now in season so the best time to cook it. Get an entire hake, ask them to clean it for you and to make 2 large fillets (lengthwise). I always take the bones with me as well, place them in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer to make a good fish stock or fish soup.

Fresh hake, oven-baked with roasted vegetables and potatoes, simple, quick and amazing!

Where can I buy fresh hake in The Hague?

One of my favourite places to get good quality fresh fish is this one. The owner is lovely and he will always advice you on what kind of fish or dish you can make.
