Hake and Veggie stir fry

This soft, flaky and succulent white fish is very common in Europe and remains one of my absolute favorite. I've tried it poached, oven baked, pan fried; it is always so delicious. This time around, I made a Hake and veggie stir fry and it turned out just as I expected; did not disintegrate and paired well with crunchy bell peppers.
