This easy fried fish recipe uses hake or whiting, which can usually be found in abundance in morocco. Hake is seen to be the perfect fish for frying; not only does it have great mild flavor and texture, but the bones are easy to remove after cooking, making it less tedious to eat than other fish. In morocco, hake is referred to as merna, cola, or merluzza. Smaller whiting tends to be tastier than larger ones. Try to select fish that are 7-inch or less in length.
