Mackerel is a fish that particularly repays being eaten very fresh before its high oil content starts to spoil. Its aroma is light and oceanic, reminiscent of fine green seaweed, and its predominantly pink flesh is succulent. Although there's a high level of oil, it's balanced by generous amounts of juice, which helps disperse it in the mouth. It's a fish that takes to barbecuing, poaching, baking and grilling, works well with strong flavours and is delicious with nothing but a squeeze of lemon.

This portion will be made up of 2-4 fillets.
