Thick, flaky loins of wild-caught hake are gently preserved in premium olive oil, allowing their delicate, buttery texture to shine. This is a beautifully simple tin—just the pure, clean taste of high-quality fish. Serve it over warm new potatoes with a drizzle of the infused oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
 
Wine pairing: A crisp Txakoli from the Basque Country lifts the hake’s mild sweetness with its bright acidity. For an Australian option, a cool-climate Chardonnay from the Yarra Valley offers citrus notes and a touch of creaminess that pairs beautifully.
