I fancied some smoked mackerel. Today I’m having it with fried egg, fried tomatoes and toast For lunch. Apart from having it in a salad how else would you eat it?

Turn it into pate by mixing it with cream cheese.

It’s lovely with pasta and a tomato based sauce.

I add it to a "Spanish omelette" with peppers, onions and small cubes of fried potato/sweet potato.

Smoked mackerel creamy potato bake (not for hot days though)

Potato rostis or fried mash, top with yoghurt or creme fraiche and flaked smoked mackerel

Potato salad with yoghurt/mayo dressing and mackerel mixed in

Spot the theme Grin basically it goes very well with something sour creamy and something potato based.

Also good with soft boiled eggs and broccoli. And/or beetroot.

Simmer broken up smoked mackerel in hot single cream for two minutes, which transfers the smoky flavour to the cream. Blanch some french beans in salted water and then serve them under the mackerel and cream.

Just delicious Smile

I like it on fresh sourdough with some lightly pickled finely sliced red onion. delicious!

whistlestopsong · 07/08/2020 12:29

The only way I like it is with plain boiled potatoes and a basic side salad.

Oh yum. Lots of good ideas. Thank you

Not adventurous but I love it with a homemade new potato salad with sliced hard boiled eggs. Hard boiled eggs and SM are a match made in heaven.

Otherwise a pate on crusty bread, or make into fish cakes.

quick dinner - kedgeree with plain smoked mackerel, pouch of pilau rice and an runny cooked egg and some baby spinach

fiveguy · 20/08/2020 10:50

Kedgeree or mashed up with a spring onion butter and the scooped out jacket potatoes,

I have it with Waldorf salad (celery, apple, walnuts, black grapes or raisins) the fruity salad and the smokey oily fish are a good combination.

I also like it with poached gooseberry sauce, a retro 70s favourite.

Sometimes I make kedgeree with it, goes well with the rice, egg combo.

Smoked mackerel & beetroot salad with a horseradish/yoghurt dressing - delicious!

Usuallytootiredbuthappyanyway · 25/08/2020 13:20

Pretty much the only way I use smoked mackerel is make it into a 'paté' by mushing it up with cottage cheese with some lemon juice and horseradish. Delicious!

This is good.
