Preparation of fried hake:
The fish should be cleaned from the insides, remove the fins and cut into portioned pieces. Transfer hake into a baking dish, sprinkle with salt, seasoning for fish, dry garlic and paprika.
Pour vegetable oil over the fish, smear each piece. Thoroughly rub the spices into the meat, leave to marinate for half an hour.
At this time you need to prepare the batter. In a bowl, combine eggs with mayonnaise and grainy mustard. Separately mix flour with breadcrumbs.
Lay out on a baking tray parchment, grease it with vegetable oil. Roll the marinated fish in breadcrumbs and flour, and then envelope it in the egg mixture.
Put the fish on a baking tray, cover with parchment soaked in water. Bake the hake in the oven at 180 degrees for about half an hour.
We recommend serving hake on pita with onions cut in half rings and fried to a golden crust. It turns out juicy and flavorful fish, which will replace salmon and pollock on the table.
