Hoki
is a cheapish white fish with delicate flaky flesh but not much flavor.
This recipe uses flavorful ingredients like white wine and fresh herbs
to bring the fish’s taste alive. Instead of Hoki, you can use other
cheap white fish such as pollock or catfish. The Canola oil imparts a
pleasant nutty flavor and good mouth-feel to the hot-pot – plus it
adds your daily quota of omega-3 oils
