In the food & drink world, Spain is best known for their tasty and well-priced red wines from La Rioja and Ribera del Duero, their high-quality extra virgin olive oil and their classic fish dishes. In this recipe we will be making one of the most classic fish dishes in Spain, Hake in a white wine sauce. Hake, known as ¨Merluza¨ in Spain, is probably the most widely eaten fish in the Iberian peninsula. If you have never had hake before, it is a white fleshed fish that is firm, but flakes easily. Hake has a mild flavor, but can stand up to any sauce. If you can´t find hake in your area, you can substitute it for halibut, cod or tilapia. This is a delicate dish that has a grand flavor and is super healthy. Watch our video below to easily make hake in a white wine sauce. Salud!
