Notes

You can use pretty much any other white fish, haddock, halibut, mahi, sword, etc.  Chili Garlic Sauce available at Asian Markets.  Veranda in Portland.
You don't have to grill the hake, you can easily bake it at 375 for ~15-20 minutes depending on thickness.  The cedar plank does give the fish a nice mild smoke.
