Species: Merluccius capensis/paradoxus

Cape Haddie — the signature Cape Hake from Sea Harvest — represents the highest standard of wild-caught, MSC-certified South African Hake. Sustainably harvested from the ice cold, crystal clear waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean, this species delivers a clean, mild flavor and a firm, flaky texture that chefs trust across every menu style.

Naturally high in Omega-3 fatty acids, Cape Hake offers a rich, buttery taste and a nutritional profile that aligns perfectly with modern seafood demand — healthful, traceable, and chemical-free. Every Cape Haddie fillet is frozen at sea within hours of harvest, ensuring exceptional freshness and texture retention. Sea Harvest’s modern FAS (Frozen-at-Sea) fleet processes the catch immediately, locking in moisture and flavor without the use of additives or preservatives.
Cooking Suggestions: Cape Hake’s delicate texture and mild sweetness make it remarkably versatile — ideal deep-fried, oven-baked, pan-fried, grilled, or steamed.
The result: consistently clean, white fillets that perform flawlessly in fish & chips, white-fish entrées, and upscale dining applications.
