About the dish

Herb crusted fillet of Dingle Hake, prawn risotto, Beurre blanc from Gleesons of Booterstown. The Hake on our menu are caught off the south Coast and landed at Dingle. There is a plentiful and sustainable supply of this fish and its mild flavour and delicate texture made it a great alternative to other white flaky fish. Hake requires little preparation except to remove scales and any bones. We recommend leaving the skin on when cooking to avoid the fillets from breaking up on the pan.
