A 3kg catering box of wild line-caught Norwegian mackerel — XL whole fish, 400–600g each, with the slender body and dark vertical stripes that make mackerel instantly recognisable. The constant movement of mackerel in the wild makes their flesh more muscular and darker than other oily fish — meaty, richly flavoured, ideally suited to high-heat grilling and frying.
