Merluza (hake) is Chile’s national fish dish because its white delicate meat is affordable and available in every market. In valparaiso Merluza jumps straight from the Pacific Ocean onto your plate. The Merluza filet is put in a batter, fried in hot oil and served with mashed potatoes. We recommend having Merluza Frita with Ensalada Chilena as a side dish. This is a very basic tomato-onion salad (often with garlic and chili pepper and coriander or parsley) and is a very healthy and typical complement to your fish dish.
