    Hoki

    A long narrow fish that is found in the southern hemisphere ocean waters off the coast of Australia and New Zealand. The hoki, which is also known as a blue grenadier, a blue hake, a New Zealand whiting, or a whiptail, is a member of the hake family but should not be confused with difference in appearance of the hake that are members of the cod family. The distinctive tail of the hoki identifies it easily, as the tail is long, narrows at the end and is more eel-like in appearance than the forked tail of other, more common varieties of fish.

    Bluish-green and silver in color, the hoki matures to a size of 3 to 4 feet in length and 3 to 5 pounds in weight. They have a delicate textured white meat that is moist and contains very few bones. When filleted, average fillets weigh 6 to 18 ounces.

Add the celery, mushrooms and leek. Pour over the stock, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes until the fish is tender. Drain the fish and the vegetables, reserving 85ml / 3fl oz of the cooking liquid. Discard the skin from the fish and flake into bite sized pieces. Set aside. Blend the cornflour with 4 tbsp milk to form a paste. Pour remaining milk into a saucepan with the reserved cooking liquid. Stir in the cornflour paste. Bring to the boil, stirring until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the fish, vegetables, mustard, sweetcorn and chives. Mix well and pile into the base of an ovenproof pie dish. Arrange the sliced tomotoes on top, then the sliced potato. Sprinkle with cheese and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.

    Cod and Hoki are used interchangingly in recipes!

    There are several branches to this family, varying amongst themselves more in size than in texture or flavour. Cod itself is a very firm, flaky fish that can weigh up to 14 lb (6.5 kg), so lends itself well to thick steaks, cutlets and fillets, but sadly it loses much of its flavour if not eaten very fresh. It has been affected by over-fishing.

    Other members of the cod family:

    Codling is simply a much smaller version of cod. Hake is a similar, if elongated, version of cod, resulting in thinner, smaller steaks. Haddock is another relation, smaller and more finely textured, much of which goes to be smoked. Coley is a rather dull cousin, whiting a much more succulent one, and Norwegian red fish a somewhat ferocious-looking one that surprisingly tastes as good as cod and is in need of more promotion. Because in recent years stocks of cod and haddock have become more scarce in our own coastal waters and that has increased the price, look out for a very similar deep-water fish called hoki from New Zealand, where there are plentiful supplies. Hoki has a white, moist, flaky flash and can be used in recipes that call for any member of the cod family.

    All these fleshy, firm fish lend themselves to a wide spectrum of seasonings, flavourings and sauces.
