Mackerel is tasty "to no end". And, therefore, everyone says "yes, like this, yes". It is a succulent fish rich in energy, protein and healthy fat, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

Go ahead, take a spin, the spice is right. Paired with beans and bay leaf or toast and tomato—plus a dash of lemon—flavors are finely balanced. This lively fish is a game changer for any aperitivo.

 

Pairing: white wines, e.g. albariño, ciders, witbiers, tequila cocktails, e.g. tequila collins, Italian amari

Serving: prepare a black-eyed pea salad with fresh onion and parsley; top toasted crostini; pair with sliced avocado
