Fried hake. Simple recipes. Delicious fried hake in batter with sesame seeds Cooking hake fish in a frying pan
If anyone doesn’t know, silver hake was very popular in the vast Soviet Motherland. It was consumed in canteens on fish days, on holidays and on weekdays. And all because this is really a very tasty fish, despite all its “massiveness”. It is low-fat, without annoying small bones, and healthy. In addition, it has low calorie content. Fried hake is a favorite dish not only here, but also, for example, in Japan. Beyond any competition, as they say. Let's try to cook it too!
Fried hake
If you like crispy and lean fish with a fragrant crust, then be sure to fry the hake in a frying pan in a large amount of boiling oil. And we will show you how to do it correctly.
Ingredients: several headless hake carcasses, a lot of vegetable oil, salt and flour.
We defrost the hake at natural temperature so as not to lose the beneficial qualities of the fish. Then we cut off the fins and wash them thoroughly. Cut the fish into portions and salt. You can roll it in some fish seasoning (the main thing is not to overdo it). Next, roll the hake pieces in flour. Heat the oil well in a frying pan so that the fish is not stewed, but fried. Turn over gradually so that the “blush” forms evenly. The crust should be smooth and golden. This can usually be achieved in 15 minutes. Place on a large plate. Decorate the “Fried Hake” dish with fresh herbs. Serve with mashed potatoes, for example.
Hake fried in batter
Preliminary preparation of fish is carried out according to the same principle. The secret of the dish is the correct batter. It can be prepared in various ways. Here are just a few.
Option 1. Beat one egg, a spoonful of mineral water, salt and flour until smooth (the consistency is thick sour cream). Next, dip the whole pieces of prepared fish (preferably small ones) into the batter and place them in a frying pan with almost boiling oil. Fry very quickly until golden brown on both sides of the piece.
Option 2. The batter is made with intoxication, using beer or white wine. The remaining ingredients (except for mineral water) are the same. Mix everything to the desired consistency (the dough is like pancakes).
Option 3. With cheese and dried herbs. Batter ingredients: egg, a little dried herbs (teaspoon), half a glass of dry white wine, grated hard cheese of any brand - 100 grams, flour, seasonings. Mix everything gradually until the desired thickness.
Option 4. Without eggs. Ingredients: flour - a glass, a little turmeric, a glass or one and a half light beer, salt, ground pepper. You can add dried greens.
Mix turmeric and pepper. Add flour. Slowly pour in the beer and bring to the desired thickness.
In any of these options, fried hake should turn out very tasty. The main thing is to monitor the formation of a crust and not to overcook. And also - the pieces of fish should be small enough so that the frying process itself occurs quickly.
Fillet
Fried hake (fillet) cooks well both in a slow cooker and in the oven. True, in the first case the process is still a bit like stewing. And in the oven (especially with the air fryer function) - it’s simply unbeatable! Or on an open grill stove, standing in the courtyard of a private house in a specially equipped place, on wood or coal - absolutely wonderful!
On a bed of vegetables
We will need: a kilogram of hake fillet, two carrots, two onions, several medium-sized potatoes, hard cheese - 200 grams, vegetable oil.
On a baking sheet, pre-greased, place a bed of coarsely chopped vegetables: potatoes and carrots. Next is the fillet, cut into small pieces. Top with onions, and into the oven for half an hour. Before cooking, sprinkle grated cheese on top of the dish for 10 minutes to form a golden brown crust.
Another option is hake fried in foil with salt. Here we proceed as simply as possible: sprinkle the prepared hake fillet thickly with sea salt, wrap each piece in foil and fry in the oven at 180 degrees. You don't have to skimp on the salt. Her fish will “take” as much as it deems necessary, without over-salting. Before the final (after 10 minutes), you can open the foil so that a crust forms on top. To do this, add hard grated cheese to the ingredients of the dish. Then we take out the work of culinary art, unwrap it and eat it with a side dish and salad. This dish goes well with mashed potatoes and French fries.
Bon appetit everyone!
Hello, readers of my blog! Some people unfairly believe that hake is only suitable for cats. In fact, it is one of the healthiest fish. In addition, it is very attractive to cook. Because there are few bones in it. Today I will tell you how to cook hake in a frying pan, and share interesting tasty facts and recipes.
This sea fish belongs to the cod family. The meat of this inhabitant of the deep sea contains many healthy fatty acids.
When dieting, hake is one of the most suitable options. Fresh energy value is only 86 kcal per 100 g. And for fried hake - 105 kcal per 100 grams of fish
At the same time, there are 14.3 g of protein, 3.9 g of fat and 2.5 g of carbohydrates. However, what other fish you can eat, I described in the article “low-fat fish for a diet”.
This delicacy is suitable for both children and elderly people. It activates processes occurring in brain tissue. In addition, eating this fish is an excellent prevention of diseases of the neurological and cardiovascular systems.
Hake also has a rich vitamin and mineral composition. There is a high content of vitamins, , , , , , etc. It is also rich in zinc, fluorine, sulfur, nickel, molybdenum and other elements.
This is such a healthy product that everyone can eat. Perhaps the only exception is individual intolerance to hake.
Since hake fillets are much thinner than other fish fillets, they cook faster. In breading, the fish is fried for about 5-7 minutes, and in batter - no more than 10 minutes.
Hake meat is a little dry, so it is better to cook it in a frying pan in sauce or batter. I have prepared special recipes with photos for you :)
How to fry hake in a frying pan in sour cream
For this dish, prepare the following ingredients:
- medium sized fish;
- 2-3 onions;
- 100 ml oil;
- wheat flour for breading;
- salt + ground pepper (to taste);
- a glass of milk;
- 300-350 grams of medium fat sour cream;
- 2 eggs.
Cut the prepared fish into portions. Then add salt and pepper to the meat. Leave the fish for 10 minutes - during this time it will marinate. Peel the onion and chop it finely.
Bread the hake fillet in flour. To make the crust golden brown and crispy, bread the meat twice on each side. Place the fish in a frying pan with well-heated oil and fry.
When the hake is fried, place the onion on it. Cover the vessel with a lid and, reducing the heat to low, simmer until the onion is browned. This will take 8-10 minutes.
Then add sour cream sauce. To do this, break the eggs into a deep container and pour milk and sour cream into it. Beat this mixture well. Then lightly salt and pepper it. Whisk the sauce again.
Cover the vessel with a lid and simmer the dish over low heat for about 10 minutes. You can judge the readiness of a food by the state of the sauce. Thickened sour cream sauce is a sign that the hake is ready and it’s time to eat.
Fish cooked in sour cream simply melts in your mouth. Oh, I can’t... my mouth is watering :)
How to fry hake in a frying pan with vegetables
For this delicious dish you need to take:
- 0.5 kilos of fish;
- larger onion;
- carrot;
- 100-150 grams of cheese;
- vegetable oil;
- salt and ground pepper to taste;
- a little mayonnaise.
The main difficulty in preparing hake with onions and carrots lies in the length of time it takes to prepare the products. First you need to peel the onion, then chop it into rings. Then you need to peel the carrots and grate them.
Pour oil into a heated frying pan and heat it. Place a layer of onions in the bowl, then carrots, add a little salt and pepper to the vegetable “pillow”. Next add the fish fillet. There is no need to bread the fish pieces, that is, we cook them without flour. And repeat the layer of onions and carrots again.
Make a mayonnaise layer on top and grate it with cheese. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the dish over low heat for about 15-20 minutes.
How to cook hake fillet in a frying pan in batter
Recipe for this amazing dish:
- egg;
- 2 tbsp. wheat flour;
- 1 tbsp. beer or sparkling mineral water;
- 2 fish;
- vegetable oil;
- salt + ground pepper.
Cut the prepared fish into portions 2 cm thick. Add salt and pepper to the meat. Leave the product to marinate for about 10 minutes.
During this time, prepare the batter. Beat the egg, add flour, beer or mineral water. Please note that the batter must be of the desired thickness. Not too thick, like dumpling dough, and not too runny, otherwise it will drip off the fish. Due to the fact that liquid with gas is used when preparing the batter, the crust of the fish will be tender.
Place the fish pieces dipped in batter into a heated frying pan with oil. Fry the hake until golden brown. Just don’t cover the dish with a lid, otherwise the fish will turn out not fried, but stewed.
If you cook this dish exactly following my recipe, believe me, it will turn out amazingly delicious. After tasting this culinary masterpiece, your household will sing odes of gratitude to you :) But how the dish turns out largely depends on the product used.
Choosing hake
Most often in stores this fish is sold frozen. Therefore, I will tell you how to choose the right frozen product.
The icy “glaze” protects the hake from drying out. But note that the ice layer should not be too thick. Since in this case you overpay for water.
Also take a closer look at the appearance of the fish. If you see a crooked, broken carcass, the product has already been frozen several times. Do not eat such a fish - its meat is tasteless.
The art of cutting hake and little secrets
- Prepare a working tool - a kitchen board and a sharp knife;
- Rinse the headless carcass thoroughly and dry it. Then turn the fish back up and remove the dorsal fins. Make the cuts carefully, at an angle;
- Turn the carcass belly up and remove the ventral fins;
- Turn the hake “on its side” and carefully cut the meat from the spine. Move from the tail to the head. Cut the second fillet in the same way;
- Remove small bones from the inside of the meat by hand. That's all: the product is ready for subsequent heat treatment.
Do not fry fish over low heat. Only on medium or large. Otherwise, the hake will be stewed rather than fried. And you won't get a crispy crust.
When frying fish, do not cover the pan with a lid. To avoid oil splashing, cover the bowl with a colander, turning it upside down. Double benefit. And the fish will turn out with a crispy crust, and the stove will remain clean.
I’m sure you have your own signature recipes for cooking hake in a frying pan. Be sure to share them. And also share a link to this article on social networks. This information will be very valuable for your friends. Well, I tell you: bye-bye, fish lovers! 🙂
1. The fish must be defrosted. To do this, you need to take it out of the freezer in advance and leave it on the bottom shelf in the refrigerator until it thaws completely. I do not recommend using a microwave or hot water for quick defrosting, as this will disrupt the elastic structure and fibers of the fish, and if you use these manipulations, the already fried fish runs the risk of being dry inside.
2. Clean the carcasses from entrails and scales, remove thin black films (if any) and rinse thoroughly. Use a thin knife to cut out all the fins; you can cut them off with scissors, but then the part that remains inside will end up in the finished piece, and this is not very pleasant, so they should be removed from the roots. Then carefully divide the fish into fillets and cut them into pieces convenient for frying. At this stage, it would be appropriate to remove all the seeds so that you can safely enjoy the taste later. By the way, it is most convenient to clean and cut fish when it is still slightly frozen. Place all the pieces in one bowl and season to taste with salt and ground black pepper. If desired, you can sprinkle with lemon juice or add spices to the fish.
3. Pour the flour into a small bowl and roll each piece of fish in it on both sides.
4. Break the eggs into a deep plate and beat them with a whisk or fork until completely mixed. Add milk and a pinch of salt. Mix all ingredients.
5. Next, thoroughly dip each fish in the egg mixture.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and place the fish for frying. Cook over medium heat until crispy brown, then flip and cook the other side. This will take approximately 10 minutes. During this time, the fish will be completely cooked.
If you want softer pieces of hake, cook with the lid closed. If you want to enjoy the pleasant crunch of the crust, then you should not cover the frying pan with a lid.
Place the finished fish on a paper napkin to get rid of excess fat, then transfer to a beautiful dish and serve. Bon appetit!

On a note:
- The taste of the finished dish directly depends on the quality of the raw fish. Therefore, it is important to know how to choose the right frozen hake. When buying fish, you should pay attention to its appearance. You can often find frozen carcasses with an unattractive color. If it is yellow or somehow unnatural, this may indicate long-term storage and repeated freezing of the product.
- It is also worth paying attention to the type of freezing. I recommend buying dry-frozen hake, since in this case weight loss after thawing is minimized. The same cannot be said about fish glazed with ice.
- Also pay attention to the type of fish. If it has significantly lost its shape, it means it has already been defrosted.
- And of course, having the opportunity to choose from several varieties of fish, choose the best one. Delicious dishes are obtained from blue or royal hake. But provided that they were stored correctly.
- To properly defrost hake fish, place it from the freezer to the refrigerator in the evening. The ice (if any) will gradually thaw and the fish will be ready for further cooking by morning.
- It is best to fry hake over medium heat. Minimum heat will make the fish too soft, and high heat can ruin the dish - dry it out or overcook it.
- In principle, all recipes for fried hake are practically the same. Only in types of breading.
- You can also make potato
