Wild Hot Smoked Mackerel Fillets
A rich, delicious fish, perfect for any time of the day
Swimming in vast shoals all around the coast of Britain, mackerel are torpedo-shaped fish with impossibly silvery skin and rippling mottled stripes. They're an oily fish with softly flaking, creamy flesh that has plenty of flavour. This makes it perfect for smoking: the richness of the flesh balances beautifully with the earthiness of the smoke. Our smoked mackerel fillets are a tremendously versatile staple to have on hand in the freezer, whether for decadent breakfasts or satisfying suppers.
The Fish Society uses traditional fishing methods to source the finest quality fish, freezing it at peak freshness to ensure it tastes just as good at home as it would cooked fresh in the harbour. Their ‘fresher than fresh’ guarantee ensures that every meal is packed with flavour and quality. Sustainably caught in the North Atlantic using selective trawl nets that protect the seafloor from damage, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Storage Instructions
Our fish is going frozen. We’ve made this shift in a move to guarantee and maintain quality and selection all year round.
Why Frozen?
- Freshly Frozen to lock in taste and nutrients and to maintain quality
- Cook or Refreeze so it's ready to eat when you are. Refreeze at home or eat within 3 days of defrosting
- Seasonal Selections sourced at the best times for unmatched quality
- Always Available so no more weather woes. Enjoy your favourite fish anytime
How will my fish arrive?
Your fish is selected from our freezers on the day it is dispatched to ensure peak freshness. It's possible your fish may arrive partially frozen. Rest assured, it remains perfectly safe to eat within 3 days or to conveniently store in your freezer for later enjoyment.
- 1 x 200g, 2 fillets
While it would seem that mackerel are abundant and plentiful, any species of fish can find itself in a precarious position when fishing becomes too aggressive. To make sure our native mackerel are around for generations to come, at The Organic Butchery we partner with fishermen who are committed to sustainable practices. This means they take only suitably sized fish at appropriate times of the year and always with consideration for the ocean environment.

Smoked mackerel has a robust flavour that really wants to be the star of the show. Serve it simply flaked as part of a mixed deli board with cold meats, strong cheeses and fruity chutneys. Or add it to a crispy seasonal salad with lots of crunchy textures (peppery radishes are especially good) to balance the softness of the mackerel's flesh. Mixed with some white fish, smoked mackerel fillets are a flavoursome addition to fishcakes, and are an excellent choice for homemade sushi. Pair it with hot horseradish in a speedy pâté or enjoy it grilled and served with a sharp gooseberry purée.
