Fresh Mackerel: From Lyme Bay to Your Table!

Experience the exceptional quality of fish and seafood from Lyme Bay in Lyme Regis, Dorset, where daily catches provide a bounty of fresh delights. Among these treasures, mackerel stands out as a favourite, celebrated by locals and seafood enthusiasts alike for its intense, rich flavour and numerous health benefits.

A local Favourite

Mackerel, harvested from Lyme Bay's pristine waters, is cherished for its firm, oil-rich flesh and distinctive taste. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients, mackerel offers a delectable way to boost your health while delighting your taste buds.

Versatile Cooking Options

Whether pan-fried to crispy perfection, delicately smoked to infuse smoky flavours or grilled on the barbecue for a charred finish, mackerel offers endless culinary possibilities to explore.

Cooking Instructions:

  • Preparation: Rinse the mackerel under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove any scales and innards.
  • Seasoning: Season the mackerel with salt, pepper and any desired herbs or spices.
  • Cooking Method:
  • Pan-Frying: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the mackerel fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Smoking: Prepare your smoker according to manufacturer instructions. Smoke the mackerel over low heat for 20-30 minutes or until opaque and flaky.
  • Grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the mackerel fillets directly on the grill grates and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until grill marks appear and the flesh is cooked through.

Serving Instructions:

Enhance the succulent flavour of fresh mackerel by serving it with:

  • Steamed Rice: Accompany with steamed rice for a satisfying meal.
  • Asian Slaw: Serve alongside a refreshing Asian slaw made with shredded cabbage, carrots and a sesame ginger dressing.
  • Miso Soup: Start the meal with a bowl of comforting miso soup for a traditional Japanese touch.
  • Grilled Vegetables: Pair with grilled vegetables such as eggplant, bell peppers and zucchini for a colourful and nutritious side.
  • Sake: Enjoy with a glass of chilled sake to complement the flavours of the dish.

Whether you're seeking a light and refreshing meal or a hearty seafood feast, fresh mackerel from Lyme Bay promises a culinary experience that's both delicious and nutritious. Explore the versatility of this prized fish and savour its exceptional taste with every bite.
