About Merlu
Merlu, commonly known as hake, is a white-fleshed fish widely enjoyed in Mediterranean and European cuisines. It is a versatile seafood option, often grilled, baked, or steamed, and prized for its delicate, mild flavor and tender texture. Rich in high-quality protein, Merlu is a great source of essential nutrients, including B-vitamins, selenium, phosphorus, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and immune wellness. Its relatively low calorie and fat content make it a nutritious choice for balanced diets. However, like many fish, it may contain trace amounts of mercury, so moderation is key, especially for children and pregnant individuals. Merlu’s sustainable fishing practices vary by region, so selecting responsibly sourced options helps protect marine ecosystems. Perfect in light dishes, soups, or paired with vegetables, Merlu is both a nutritious and flavorful addition to a health-conscious menu.
