Hake is one of HG’s favorite fishes. Member of the cod family but firmer and tastier than conventional cod. HG first tasted it at an upscale Madrid seafood restaurant and became a convert.(The emperor of all fish is Dover Sole, of course, as served at Le Dome and other exemplary Paris seafood places). When hake is available at Julio’s Seafood (close to HG/BSK’s Prince Edward Island oceanfront home) BSK buys some large filets. The Wonder Woman fried some last night and accompanied the crisp deliciousness with Jacues Pepin’s herbaceous warm potato salad. Joyous eating. HG is very fond of French warm potato salad. HG has many happy memories of eating the salad with grilled sausages and nose stinging mustard and cornichons at the long running Veau D’ Or restaurant in New York.
