A deep-sea fish not found around the UK, but in waters around New Zealand, South Africa and off the Chilean coast at depths of up to 5km.
Hard to get fresh, but frozen is readily available.
Unlike these other ‘Cod-like’ species, Hoki is not a member of the Cod family.
However, it yields bright white fillets, which make a good alternative.
A New Zealand Hoki fishery has been given MSC approval.
