Smoked Mackerel Two Ways

I've mentioned before on this blog about my lack of love for fish. I like a bit of chip shop fish but not much more than that, and for that reason the rest of the family don't eat it much either. I do love a challenge though, so when I was challenged to get the family eating more oily fish this month I was happy to give it a go. I promised myself that would also try eating it too, especially as I'm currently experiencing some joint problems and I'm hoping that the addition of some oily fish in my diet may help with this.

This week we have tried smoked mackerel two ways, first as a pate and second in wraps. The husband absolutely loved both, as did Hanna who has always liked her fish. Jack was willing to give it a try but couldn't quite make up his mind whether he liked it or not, and Sam (who used to love fish and seafood when he was a toddler) refused to try it and complained about the smell!

I surprised myself and loved it too, and will definitely be adding smoked mackerel to the shopping list again.

I adapted the recipes from the Fish is the Dish website here and here.
