Method:
Start by portioning the Hake Fillet (4 large pieces)
Wash the shellfish in water (being sure to only use the ones that have not opened)
Finely chop the shallots and wild garlic leaves and saute in a large pan
Once they have started to brown add the shellfish and the white wine
As soon as the ingredients start to boil, place the hake ontop of the shellfish and cover with a lid
