Mackerel

Mackerel is a bold and flavourful fish with a full texture and a rich character. Thanks to its higher fat content, mackerel stays beautifully juicy during cooking, which makes it a favourite in both simple dishes and more refined preparations.

On this page, you will discover more about mackerel and how this fish is used in the kitchen. Mackerel is delicious smoked, grilled or baked in the oven, but also works very well in salads, spreads and cold preparations.
