What goes with mackerel

[madhair60]

I've got some mackerels, yeah?  And I want to eat it, but I don't know what to have with the cunts.  I'm thinking maybe rice, but rice and what, is the question.

Anyway I'm sure you all have some useful and hilarious suggestions, such as "why don't you have it with your bollocks, madhair60" or "why don't you have it with an underage cartoon girl, madhair60".  Well fuck all of you, I don't want your fucking help anyway.

Can anyone help me?

Broccoli.

[dr_christian_troy]

Buttered crackers. Maybe combine with smoked salmon and cream cheese.

[Blumf]

I asked a penguin and he said 'more mackerel'

[NoSleep]

Smoked, tinned or fresh?

[ziggy starbucks]

chips

[CaledonianGonzo]

A nice Nicoise salad - but NoSleep's query is an important one, as you'd treat fresh differently from smoked.

[mook]

horseradish and sourdough bread and pickled cucumbers. smoked eel too, some beetroot. if they are fresh, i mean caught today fresh just grill them. best fish in the sea by a mile. earlier in the season they're go well with gooseberries.

Luca Brasi...?

[Mary is not amused]

Good horseradish source is essential.  Other than that, some salad and buttered brown bread.

Before even entering the thread i though "i bet mook has posted something about horseradish and sourdough bread", as sure as eggs is eggs...there it is.

[mook]

can't beat the classics mate.

how about tarragon with a tomato confit?

[SetToStun]

Gut them, split them, grill them fairly briefly and serve with buttered brown bread, horseradish sauce and a couple of quartered only-just-hard-boiled eggs. Have some good malt vinegar to hand, just in case.

Smoked, tinned or fresh?

Smoked.  I'm not Bruce fucking Springsteen!

[SimonG156]

Crushed with mayonnaise. Rocket salad. Lightly Toasted sourdough. A lemon.

In case of what?

[NoSleep]

Falling down a hill, amongst other things.

that has to be the best thing i've ever read on c&b, apart from whatever i spew out, but that almost went without saying.

[Ignatius_S]

Good point - seems so obvious now I think about it.

[SetToStun]

In case of what?

In case good horseradish is too much for him - some people wimp out surprisingly easily and vinegar goes well with mackerel, just not as well as good horseradish, obviously.

[madhair60]

I've never had horseradish.  Does it taste like either horse or radish?

[lazyhour]

Serve it atop a bowl of Japanese rice, with a light mustard dressing. Add some roasted sesame seeds, shredded nori and bonito flakes. Fucking gorgeous.

[holyzombiejesus]

Buttery mash and peas.

I've been a vegetarian for nearly 30 years now and whilst the smell of bacon is supposed to be the thing that tempts most non-carnivores back to the flesh, for me it'll always be mackerel.

[Snobbish Puerile Wanker]

I sometimes have it with pasta. As a sort of tuna substitute.

[mook]

why don't we see seal-lions on the telly anymore? when i was a kid, the whiskery beauties were always on, doing juggling and stuff and doing their best to hide the "training welts".


this isn't really a tangent, i just presume they like mackerel.

[lazyhour]

WELL??

[NoSleep]

Rotting in the dustbin.

[hummingofevil]

Have a Caribbean feast. Rice. Jerk Black beans and spring onions fried. Some nice greens or just lettuce and proper BBQ sauce.

Actually, smoked mackerel and BbQ sauce is always lush.

Birdseye Potato Waffles. They go with anything, as I am reliably informed they are waffley versatile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je3UGI1jMP8
