\"\"<\/a>There are those who rather sniffily suggest that one should only eat mackerel when it has been freshly hoiked from the sea and cooked over a jerry-built barbecue on the beach. Good for them. For those of us not living in an Enid Blyton novel, mackerel is still a wonderful ingredient, even if it has had to suffer the ignominy of a lift into town and a sojourn on the ice of a fishmonger’s trolley. It’s cheap, it’s sustainable, and it’s delicious.<\/p>\n

Serves 1<\/span><\/p>\n

A mackerel fillet (check for pinbones)
\nAn oyster
\n2 tbsp plain flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
\n1 tbsp thick yoghurt
\n1 heaped tsp of wasabi powder (more if you like, no point in holding back)
\nA lemon
\nA buttered bap
\nSalad leaves
\nOil, salt, pepper<\/p>\n

– Shuck the oyster (video here<\/a>), and toss it and the mackerel in the seasoned flour. Heat some oil in a frying pan over a high, if not steak-high, flame. Slide in the mackerel fillet skin-side down, and fry for 2 minutes. Meanwhile beat the wasabi into the yoghurt with a squeeze of lemon.<\/p>\n

– Turn the mackerel and add the oyster. Cook for a further minute, turning the oyster half way through. Remove from the heat and add a spritz of lemon. Plonk the mackerel and oyster in your bap, along with the salad leaves and a splodge of wasabi mayonnaise. Eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
