Wild-caught, skin-on Cape Hake fillets.



Oven Bake: Preheat oven to 200⁰C. Place the fillets (skin side down) in a lightly greased ovenproof dish. Drizzle with olive oil or brush with soft margarine and lightly season with freshly ground black pepper. Cover with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 5 minutes. Once cooked, the fish should change from translucent to white and flake easily with a fork.
Pan Fry: Coat fillets in seasoned flour (optional). Heat a little oil in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat. Fry fillets for 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel or serviette before serving. Once cooked, the fish should change from translucent to white and flake easily with a fork.
