That's what I'm doing for dinner tonight From a book I picked up at the Chatsworth farm shop a couple of weeks ago. Hope it comes out like the picture A. Last edited by Barefoot Andrew on Tue Sep 16, 08 6:32 pm; edited 1 time in total

Hmmm. I'd have thought that something with a bit more acidity than apricots would be better with mackerel. Let us know how it comes out.

Agree with sean, maybe a zingy salad on the side? (red onion, tomato and mint pethaps)

Agree with Sean and Johnnyboy. I adore mackerel, but, unless it is straight off the boat, it does need acidity or heat (Nigel Slater has a great recipe involving lemon, garlic and smoked paprika).

Try mackerel fillets topped with finely chopped chillies and grated cheese. Gorgeous! Gill

Hoping to escape this machine some time in the not-too-distant future and get cooking... A.

I've just realised I can't spell "mackerel" Suitably amended A.

What's the only London tube station that doesn't have any of the letters from the word Mackerel in it? You aren't allowed to answer if you've ever lived in London.

No report from BA. Has he choked on a bone?

I've neither choked on a bone nor do I know the answer to the above query

On this occasion I decided to ignore the advice of The Food Gods and not add something tangy/acidic - and went with the recipe as was. It was good, very good - but I do take the point about the acidity now. I just wanted to try it for myself first. Plus, I could have done with chopping the apricots a touch finer.

I'll stick up the recipe later.
