Probably the tastiest common white fish out there though some find them too fishy

I've been meaning to ask about this! As a child we once got fish and chips from a place in folkstone. I remember it being slightly pink meat, oily, salty and very tasty, not particularly "fishy". It was battered and resembled an eel of some kind but I do remember it was either hake or huss.

That sound like hake to you?

That sounds like huss more than hake. Hake is white and although the fish are quite long and thin it was normally sold in cutlets with a central bone. Huss on the other hand is a bit pinkish and more eel like. Huss is a lot firmer than hake, quite springy whilst hake is softer

Peeps pay good money to catch dogs,skate and straps on charters in wales! Fek that!

Thankyou, wish I could remember for sure but that sounds quite likely
