    Gooseberries are at their best in the summer, so this dish is perfect to serve during that season. It is one of the oldest dishes we have, dating back to the Norman invasion, combining tart fruit with rich fish. It has withstood time quite well. A classic combination of tart gooseberries and rich mackerel is proven timeless. A rich oily mackerel goes perfectly with the tangy gooseberries. A picnic with this is even better! The seeds should be removed through a sieve to make the sauce smoother. Take advantage of the berry season while it lasts. Served with salad leaves and new potatoes, this Mackerel with gooseberry sauce dish is a delicious meal.
