Recipe of the Month – Mackerel with Samphire, Gooseberry & Mustard Puree
Ransom's Restaurant
This month’s recipe from Food Lovers Britain is from Chef Naz of Ramson’s Restaurant. He has chosen a summery version of the classic mackerel and gooseberry combination.
Mackerel is a summer fish, but must be line-caught as it is invariably damaged when it is trawled; ensure that the fish does not feel soft and has no fishy smell. Samphire (which you would get from a good fishmonger) and gooseberries (which should be quite hard and very green) are summer produce too, providing flavours and textures which complement lightly cooked mackerel to perfection.
