A 1kg pack of wild line-caught Indian mackerel — a different species from the Atlantic mackerel most British shoppers know, with lighter, milder, meatier flesh and a firm flaky texture. Indian mackerel lives in the warmer shallow waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and it’s the foundation of Goan, Sri Lankan and Indonesian fish curries.
