Hake in tomato sauce: delicious dinner dish

According to experts, fish should be eaten 2-3 times a week, preferably baked. It is worth noting that in summer, the choice of fresh fish and herring should be treated with great caution because it will become very dangerous at high temperatures and improper storage.
