Mackerel

[sunny-dave]

I was wondering if any of our AB members living near the sea might have ideas of useful things to do with a mackerel.

Serve fried mackerel fillets with this chutney.....


Quick Rhubarb Chutney
500g rhubarb
1 medium onion, finely chopped
100ml cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
1cm piece fresh ginger, finely chopped
200g sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Trim and wash the rhubarb, then slice it, like celery, into fairly fine chunks.
Heat the onion, vinegar, ginger, sugar and salt in a wide-based non-aluminium pan. Bring to a rolling boil for about 5 minutes, then add the rhubarb. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until slightly thickened. If you’re making the chutney to use at a later date, you can put it into a 500ml sterilised jar, still hot, at this point.
If you’re using the chutney now as a dressing for smoked mackerel, allow it to cool until just warm, then spoon it over part of the fillet with a slotted spoon.

My wife says; bake it; grill it; fry it; use it in salads. And the BBC says this:

But there's only one, Ratter, a mackerel, wouldn't go far :)

[bookbinder]

What about feeding the five thousand, in the Bible? There must be something in that.

[craft1948]

[Baldric]

Improvised tassle?

Youngest Junior O has again gone fishing. He knows if he brings another mackerel home he may not live to see his next birthday

[sunny-dave]

You should start a 'mackerel by post' service ... many people on here would like one sent (third class) to their in-laws ...

[mrs_overall]

Hmmm, food for thought there Dave

We absolutely love mackerel and I fillet them, coat with egg and breadcrumbs seasoned with garlic powder and fry in butter/oil until nice and crispy. Often have with salad or sometimes use up cooked potatoes sauted....delicious
