/ˈdɛmɪhæk/ noun

Definition

A variant or alternative form of demihake, referring to a smaller or inferior type of hake fish.

Kelly Says

Fish names evolved differently across Europe—the same hake might be called 'demihaque' in one port and 'demihake' in another, reflecting how trade language borrowed and adapted words from Dutch, French, and other seafaring nations.
