Recipe: Crispy Battered Hake

The bubbles in the beer makes the batter light and gives it extra body and crunch. If you want, you can substitute the beer with soda water instead.

  • a pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

  • 4 fillets of hake
  • 1 cup cake flour, extra
  • 1 bottle sunflower oil, for frying
