Hake Cheeks (Kokotxas)

Hake Cheeks (Kokotxas)s are the tender cheek muscles of the hake fish, prized in Basque and coastal Spanish cuisine (often called kokotxas) and used in simple preparations like grilling, poaching or lightly sautéing to showcase their delicate texture. They are valued for their richness and soft, almost creamy mouthfeel despite being a lean fish cut. Nutritionally, Hake Cheeks (Kokotxas)s are a concentrated source of high-quality protein, providing about 18.3g of protein per 100g, while remaining very low in total and saturated fat — a good choice when you want a filling, lean seafood option. They also provide iodine and selenium, minerals important for thyroid function and antioxidant defenses. From a health perspective, hake cheeks deliver a complete amino acid profile and micronutrients typical of white fish, with very little saturated fat, making them a nutritious option for most diets and useful for satiety and muscle maintenance.Read more
