What is it hake?

Answer 1

The hake is a fish of the cod family fished commercially in the Atlantic and North and Arctic seas. It is generally regarded as inferior in eating quality to the cod and haddock.
Fish of other unrelated families are also sometimes refered to as "hakes" but are of no or little commercial importance.
For the benefit of missy-m the hake is in no way related to sharks. You may have confused the german word Hai (m) which does indeed mean shark.

Answer 2

This is an Irish salt water fish, similar in appearance to the tom cod. In Galway bay, and other sea inlets of Ireland, the hake is exceedingly abundant, and is taken in great numbers. It is also found in England and France. Since the Irish immigration to America, the hake has followed in the wake of their masters, as it is now found in New York bay, in the waters around Boston, and off Cape Cod. Here it is called the stock fish, and the Bostonians call them poor Johns. It is a singular fact that until within a few years this fish was never seen in America. It does not grow so large here as in Europe, though here they are from ten to eighteen inches [250 to 460 mm] in length. The general color of this fish is a reddish brown, with some golden tints - the sides being of a pink silvery luster.

Hake is very popular in Spain, where it is known as merluza.
