Author's Notes

Serve the pickled fish cold from the refrigerator with diced cucumber, fresh green chili, crusty bread, and butter.

Use ready-filleted frozen Cape hake fillets or medallions and cook from frozen. Alternatively, should you want to use fresh hake but avoid bones, use hake fillets.

The fish will keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 6 months.
