Wild Mackerel Fillets
Delicious and light fish – an all-round winner
With their silvery skin and distinctive mottled pattern, mackerel are a tasty family favourite and a great choice if you're aiming for a balanced diet. This oily fish is a distant cousin to the tuna and has similarly firm, pink flesh that really packs a hit of flavour. This makes mackerel a versatile treat for the cook – you can go subtle and unfussy with accompaniments, letting the fish be the star of the plate, or make bold pairings with other flavoursome ingredients, we like matching it with a lemony orzo with capers and parsley. Our mackerel has been filleted and trimmed for you, so there's no prep needed.

As we've filleted and trimmed your mackerel for you, there's no prep needed. For a simple summery dish, pan fry your mackerel fillets until the skin is crispy and the thickest part of the fish is just cooked through. Serve it with thinly sliced raw beetroot and shredded fennel dressed with a lemon and caper vinaigrette. It's simple to make, but the complex sweet-sharp-earthy-oily flavours make a sophisticated combination. To give your mackerel a North African spin, pan fry until it's almost cooked through, then add a mixture of olive oil, freshly squeezed orange juice and a good dollop of hot harissa pastes. Let the liquid bubble up, then serve the fish with simple couscous, a sprinkling of toasted almonds and the harissa glaze.
