A 1kg pack of wild mackerel fillets — individually quick-frozen, approximately 8 fillets per bag, enough for roughly 4 family meals. Mackerel has muscular, darker flesh from its constant movement in the wild — meaty texture, rich oily flavour, and the unmistakable deep-blue-and-black striped skin. The IQF format means you take what you need and freeze the rest.

How to cook mackerel fillets
- Pan-fry skin-down: 4 minutes skin-down in hot oil, flip for 1 minute — the classic mackerel preparation.
- Grill: 3–4 minutes per side under a hot grill, finish with butter and lemon.
- BBQ: 3 minutes per side over medium-high heat — the smoke complements mackerel beautifully.
- Bake: 200°C for 12–15 minutes with butter, lemon and herbs.
- Smoke at home: brine and hot-smoke over oak.
Pair with creamed horseradish on the side and a chilled Sauvignon Blanc or Picpoul de Pinet.
