About Merluza austral

Merluza Austral, also known as Southern Hake, is a premium white fish native to the cold waters of the southern Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, particularly around Chile and Argentina. Prized for its delicate flavor and flaky texture, it is a popular ingredient in Mediterranean and Latin American cuisines, often prepared baked, grilled, or in stews. Rich in high-quality protein, Merluza Austral is also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Additionally, it provides essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, selenium, and potassium, making it a nutritious choice for balanced meals. Low in saturated fat and calories, it fits well into a variety of dietary plans. However, its preparation can affect its health benefits; frying or adding rich sauces may increase calorie and fat content. Opt for simple cooking methods to preserve its light, wholesome nature.
