What it is
These are premium mackerel fillets packed in rich olive oil. The fish is carefully selected and prepared to maintain its delicate texture and natural flavor.

How people cook with it
Mackerel fillets are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from simple snacks to more elaborate preparations.
- On crackers or toast
- In salads
- As a pasta topping
- In sandwiches
To enjoy, simply open the can and drain the excess olive oil if desired. The fillets can be served as they are, perhaps on a bed of greens or alongside crusty bread. For a quick meal, flake the mackerel into a salad or mix it with cooked pasta and a light sauce. They can also be mashed with a fork and spread onto toast or incorporated into a sandwich filling. The olive oil can be reserved for dressing or cooking if you prefer.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other canned fish, mackerel offers a distinct, slightly richer flavor profile. The use of olive oil provides a smoother mouthfeel and a more refined taste than fish packed in water or other oils. The premium fillet cut ensures a more substantial and appealing texture.
