Cape hake is one of South Africa’s most important commercial fish species — and a core product within the DC Fishing range.
Found in the cold, nutrient-rich waters along South Africa’s coastline, Cape hake is valued by seafood buyers for its mild flavour, firm white flesh and versatility.
DC Fishing supplies Cape hake to local and international trade customers, with product availability and specifications tailored according to catch, processing requirements, order volumes and destination markets.
A versatile white fish trusted by seafood buyers.
Cape hake combines a mild flavour and firm white flesh with the supply-chain experience of an established South African commercial fishery.
Mild flavour
A clean, delicate flavour makes Cape hake suitable for a wide range of cuisines, preparations and customer preferences.
Firm white flesh
Its firm texture makes hake a practical choice across retail, foodservice, wholesale and seafood processing applications.
Highly versatile
Depending on requirements and availability, Cape hake can be supplied in different formats including whole fish, fillets, loins and portions.
Why longline fishing matters.
DC Fishing supplies Cape hake caught mainly using the longline method. Individual fish are caught on baited hooks set along the seabed, allowing the catch to be brought aboard individually.
Careful handling from the moment fish are landed, combined with rapid chilling and a managed cold chain, helps protect product quality throughout the supply process.
