Description

Sousing mackerel means effectively pickling it overnight in a vinegar, sugar and salt solution. The result is lovely firm fish that can be eaten with crackers. We love to serve it with micro celery, which adds a delicate celery flavour.

Ingredients

2 mackerel, fillets removed
250ml white wine vinegar
50g caster sugar
2 tablespoons sea salt
1 small red onion, peeled and finely sliced
1 stick celery, finely sliced

Method

Combine all the ingredients except the mackerel in a saucepan with 250ml water and bring to the boil. Allow to cool completely.
