I love an ole fish curry and I also loves me some Hake.
I remember a time in my early teenage years I laughed at reading Fish Curry on a menu but decided to try it and never looked back. There is just something beautiful about a well cooked flaky fish immersed in a sauce made with such depth and strong flavours. I would only ever serve this with rice but you do you!
