Hake, cod, garfish and eels

Hake, a white fish, has a mild, sweet, delicate flavour and a firm, flaky texture similar to its relative cod. Hake, merluza in Spanish, is an extremely popular dish in Spain. And merluza en salsa verde - hake in green sauce - is arguably the most popular dish of all. A Basque preparation payed homage to by Alalunga in its incredible hake in salsa verde tin. 

Cod is a saltwater white fish, famed for its firm, sweet, flaky flesh. Cod - bacalhau in Portuguese and bacalao in Spanish - is cooked and canned in olive oil in our Carmelo, Los Peperetes and La Rose tins. Bacalhau is also the name given to the dried and salted cod dish that is enjoyed across the world. 

More about hake, cod, garfish and eels

•In the UK, hake is a sustainable alternative to cod. This is why Hevva, a sustainable cannery in north Cornwall, works with the fish.

•Croquetas de Bacalao are a famed tapas in Spain, where the cod is blended with bechamel sauce, breadcrumbed and deep fried.

•In the wild, eels are born in the Sargasso Sea and float across the Atlantic in transparent larval form. When they approach the coast they transform into glass eels and later elvers. After nearly 20 years in freshwater they transform again, inside and out this time, and begin their journey back across the Atlantic to the Sargasso Sea where they will spawn and die, the lifecycle completing and beginning once more as the new eels are born.
