Merlusa, commonly known as hake, is a versatile white fish popular in European and Mediterranean cuisines. It features a mild, delicate flavor and a tender, flaky texture, making it a favorite for grilling, baking, or frying. High in protein and low in fat, Merlusa is an excellent source of essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and selenium, contributing to heart health, brain function, and immune support. It’s naturally low in calories and cholesterol, making it a great option for balanced, health-focused meals. However, preparation methods such as deep-frying or pairing it with heavy sauces may add extra calories and fats, so lighter cooking methods like steaming or poaching are often recommended. Sustainable hake options are widely available, allowing you to enjoy this wholesome seafood responsibly as part of a nutritious diet.
