We have been recently in Enkhuizen and spotted a wonderful offer for smoked mackerel. Generally this is an expensive fish - and very versatile. But it is A LOT OF WORK to separate the flakes from the bones, humpf ! Well, you can buy it boneless, in filets in the supermarkets - but then it is even more expensive. Anyway, I decided to mix the pieces with olive oil, some spoons of lemmon juice, capers and very little diced onions. We spreaded it on a toast and the taste was amazing.
I have also topped crackers with the mixture and added semi-dried tomato and olives. I believe if you add to the fish some mayo, cherry tomatoes, parsley and green onions and have it with a green salad then it is going to be also fantastic. For sure, capers and green olives make an excellent combination with this type of fish. But imagine this fish with pickles or gherkins... Mmmm, mouth watering...
In many villages in Holland the fish stall show up on Fridays and Saturdays. At least in my village and many other villages in North Holand they do. So if you live in Holland here goes a tip on how to prepare and serve it. Eet smakelijk !
