About South African hake

South African hake is a named market category of hake fish associated by its label with South Africa. The record does not identify a species, catch area, or whether the item is whole, filleted, fresh, frozen, or otherwise processed.

As food, hake is commonly sold as a mild-flavoured fish with pale flesh, often in fillets, although the form and texture depend on handling and preparation. This category name should not be used to infer a particular species or product state.
