Mackerel

About Mackerel

One of the most nutritious fish in the sea and one of the most beautiful — iridescent blue-green tiger stripes that shimmer. An oily fish with rich, bold flavour that stands up to smoking, grilling, and strong accompaniments like mustard, horseradish, and beetroot. Incredibly sustainable and British.
