What goes nice with 2 mackerel?

[SkeeterUK]

Bought 2 mackerel from tesco the other day, says had to be used up the 2nd but meh didnt wana have it one day after i buy it.

Its them vacume sealed ones where you get 2 pieces of mack. Says with a marinade.

Just wondering how to have it tho. I was thinking jersey royal potatoes and some carrots and that be it cos of having to have 2 pieces at once. That or stirfry but i rather not do that i think or maybe just a spot of salad like lettuce toms and cucumber.

Thoughts? Keep in mind i dont wana buy anything to go with it so just what i have in the house.

Was these btw.

Hmm with rice eh and to flake em you just get a fork and scrape like mad? Before or after cooking to do that?

As i just got it as i want to start eating more fish and try to be healthier. So this is the starter for me i wana make it delish and easy to have with somit quick and then i might buy more.

I like making kedgereer actually. Fry an onion in oil and butter, add half tsp each of garam masala, ground cumin and turmeric. Let them cook out and add some washed basmati rice. Mix spices etc around then rice then add the correct amount of water for your rice- maybe a little less. Cover and leave rice to cook. Meanwhile defrost some peas in boiled water and boil a couple of eggs. When the rice is just cooked stir in the peas and flake your mackerel in. Give it a quick stir and cover with a tea towel to remove the moisture. After 10mins or so you can serve. Peel and chop your eggs in half to serve on top. Lush.

Cheers, i tried this just now i duno what its gona be like and i might have overdone it cos of the 2 fillets instead of what i think 1 would have done but u cook it in the microwave as 2 so..

Its a bit more curry looking than i thought it would be, i followed this recipe.

Didnt have massive spring onions or parsley or lemon but had lemon juice so hope that works.

Tried to pick all the bones out of the fish but its hard to feel em for some reason ah well least i got about 10 out before i had to put the fish in.



Edit- better color version close up


Left it for 5 mins with a teatowel over to dry the fish a bit well hope it does.

^ Cheers.

Tasted a bit like special fried rice just with fish in. Not sure im a fan of mackerel or not after this unless i was just annoyed with having to careful chew each bite cos of risk of a bone in there lol. Still im gona try keep more fish in my diet if i can i might try a smoked fillet next time i dunno or maybe a diff type of fish that is more close to my favs like cod and haddock.

Might be just because i really shredded the fillets to tiny bits maybe thats why i didnt enjoy it as much as it wasnt like flakes u get usually but just very small bits of the fillet all over. If i do this again im gona make sure i pick up "pin bone picked" so theres no bones in and make them more chunky pieces.
