Please share your mackerel recipes

We usually bung it in the microwave (should say how long on the packet) and then serve over baby potatoes, rocket, any other salad you fancy and drizzle with lemon and olive oil.

Others may come along with less healthy suggestions though!

I heart mackerel. Usually just pan-fry fillets in a v hot pan with a tiny bit of oil for about three minutes on the skin side and a minute on the other side - it needs no more than that. It's nicest when the skin is crisp and a tiny bit burnt. Serve with salsa verde and potatoes. Yum.

Thanks, that sounds good to me!

Yuuuuuummmmm, I love mackerel.

I stuff it with peelings of lemon rind, crushed garlic and parsley then grill it for about 8 mins (ish)

We have grilled mackerel with a big bowl of mixed salad and hot new potatoes or crusty bread.

I always end up buying makerel cooked - hot & peppered and simply have it with salad. ?

Thanks for all the ideas everyone.

I am bloody hungry!?

I'm with KB3 - usually buy smoked mackerel and eat with salad & new potatoes. Yum!

I buy fresh, finely dice onion and mushroom and fry, then stuff the mackarel, add a couple of slices of fresh lemon, place in foil and wrap loosely. Bake for 20 mins. Fresh parsley.

Serve with new potatos and/or brocolli/green beans etc.

I do a Rick Stein devilled mackerel, although off the top of my head, I can't remember exactly what you need. I'm pretty sure it is stuff like cumin, paprika & a bit of salt & pepper, maybe some chili - grill for a couple of minutes each side and serve with tomato & onion salad and potatoes. Lovely!

I get a fab smoked mackerel from the farmers market (when the smoked fish man is there - <stalker>Sophie you must buy from him next time you go </stalker>

mash up the fish with cream cheese, creme fresh, lemon juice, s&p, chill & enjoy!

Thanks again, I am definitely doing new potatoes with it! ?

? for the rec, will try. I love the fresh fish man too - I've bought crab from him a couple of times and it was lovely.

The fresh fish stall is always our first port of call. We had crab a couple of weeks ago, bargainous deliciousness!

I will look out for you then. How many upduffed crab purchasers can there be eh? [/stalker]
