Fish can be a conflict food, with some loving it and others hating it. However, when prepared as a seafood dish, it is more acceptable to most thanks to the flavor of the frying, which is incomparable. Of course, if we talk about health, cooking in the oven, iron or steam is more positive. Likewise, if you are one of those who like to eat healthier, perhaps you will prefer to cook your fish by coating it with breadcrumbs and or oatmeal to make it Milanese and cook the hake in the oven, you can also fill it with vegetables to make rolls and cook them in the pan with tomato sauce or baked in papillae. However, it is important to clarify that the negative effects of frying occur as long as one eats a large quantity and very frequently. Therefore, if one consumes fried foods once a week or less, it is perfectly acceptable. It is about eating a balanced diet.
Ingredients to make Hake Marinara:
- 1 large or 2 small hake fillets

- 1 cup of oil (for frying)

How to make Hake Sailor:
- To start with the hake seafood recipe, first prepare the fillet if it is very large, dividing it into 2. If you notice that one of the parts is too wide, you can cut it in half butterfly style. In this way, you will ensure that during frying, the fish is fully cooked.
- Trick: make sure that the fillets do not have bones, especially if you cook them for children or older adults.
- Prepare the egg by beating it a little with the help of a fork and, in another container, add the flour. With these ingredients you will coat the fillet to make the scallops of hake.
- Trick: you can season the egg with pepper, Provencal or mustard, if you wish.
- First, coat the fillet in the seafood style, to do so, coat it with the flour and then with the egg. Finally, again incorporate it into the flour. The first pass of the flour will absorb the moisture from the fish and, therefore, the fish marinade will not come off when cooking it.
- Take the fillets to a pan with plenty of oil at the right temperature; there should be a little foam as you see in the image. After about 2 minutes, turn it over and cook it on the other side for a minute or 2.
- Tip: Use oil like corn oil, which is less likely to burn than olive oil.
- As you remove the fillets from frying, transfer them to a plate lined with absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
- For the accompaniment, we recommend a complete salad. To make it, boil the eggs in cold water for 12 minutes. After the time has elapsed, peel them and chop them to incorporate them into the salad.
- Brush the potato and cut it into cubes. Also peel the carrot and cut it into potato-like cubes. Cook them in the microwave, in a suitable covered container for 4 minutes.
- Add the peas and cook the salad greens for 2 more minutes.
- Serve your fried hake fillet with the potato, carrot, and pea and egg salad. To eat!
