How long should hake be cooked for?
How long should hake be cooked for? Cook for 1-2 minutes until the skin is just beginning to crisp, then add little knobs of butter to the pan around each hake fillet and cook for another minute until the skin is crisp. Turn the hake fillets over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. This will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
