Winter Mackerel with Tomato

Shetland lands more fish than England, Wales and Northern Ireland put together - and one of those catches is winter mackerel. It's a delicously moist, flavoursome fish that makes an inexpensive and healthy meal - and good for you too!

This is very easy and straightforward and can be made in a pan which can be brought straight to the table.

Serves 4.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion – chopped
  • 1 clove garlic – finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower or rapeseed oil
  • 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • Plenty of chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 large mackerel fillets

Method

  1. Soften the onion and garlic in the oil without browning for a good 5 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes, mix well, season with pepper and a little salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Lay the mackerel fillets on top and simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes turning once.
  4. Eat hot with potatoes or bannocks. This is also good served cold the next day but do refrigerate overnight.
