Hake Centre Cut – 1 x 500g

As it's name suggests, this is the centre part of the fish where it is the fattest and juiciest meat.

Some companies, when portioning fish, will portion it from the top working to the bottom. But this means you might get the same weight but the size is very different and the tail end will be much smaller and cook quicker than the middle. At The Upper Scale, we always portion from the middle so it is even all the way through.

This top quality hake portion is freshly prepared by hand by us. Hake is currently the most plentiful and sustainable fish in Britain. It is quite a mild fish, with a white flaky texture and a flavour that is more subtle than that of cod. When raw, the flesh is naturally very soft, becoming firm and meaty when cooked.

Our fresh fish is exactly that. . . fresh. We never substitute your fish with an alternative choice. Neither do we supply it frozen or pre-frozen.

The Upper Scale are based at the UK's largest fish market, Billingsgate Market in London, where our expert buyer, with over twenty years experience, has access to a wide variety of quality fish. We also have representatives at all major ports in the UK, buying our fish direct from day boats and sustainable stocks.
