That is why the hake is sold without head. I wish I never knew it!
Hake (merluccius) is considered to be healthy and tasty fish. But it’s a huge luck that quite rare (mainly never!) we see it with head.
Usually we buy hake body or fillet at the market

When cooked, the fish looks even more tasty!

But don’t flatter yourself, it won’t last long! The positive impression will change immediately right after the fish opens its mouth
