"Exploring the World of Hake: From Europe to America and Beyond" Discover the fascinating world of hake, specifically the European hake (Merluccius merluccius) and its close relative, the Greater Forkbeard (Phycis phycis). These fish have been an integral part of various cultures throughout history. In picturesque Torsken, Norway, fish farming in the fjord has become a thriving industry. The pristine waters of Torskefjorden provide an ideal environment for cultivating these delectable creatures. Even in earlier times, hake played a significant role. An amusing comic postcard from the 20th century depicts a dissatisfied customer at a fish shop, perhaps longing for some fresh hake. Meanwhile, in 18th-century America, sheds were bustling with activity as workers processed not only whiting but also hake. Hake's popularity extends beyond borders; it is often found alongside other beloved species like cod, plaice, and haddock on dinner plates around the world. Newfoundland's fishing industry thrived thanks to these abundant resources - depicted vividly in Le Costume Ancien et Moderne. The historical significance is undeniable. Handcoloured copperplate illustrations by Edward Donovan showcase their beauty in his Natural History of British Fishes published between 1802-1808. These detailed drawings capture every intricate detail that makes this species unique. But let us not forget about other members of this diverse family. The Blennoid Forkbeard (Phycis blennoides) adds another dimension to our exploration while Melanogrammus aeglefinus or Haddock brings its own distinct flavor to seafood cuisine. Lastly, we dive into Caribbean waters where vibrant marine life flourishes - including the Peacock Flounder resting gracefully on sandy reefs. It serves as a reminder that nature's wonders extend far beyond what meets the eye.
