is this fresh mackerel or smoked? if fresh, skin and fry the fillets really slowly, the oil should hardly bubble, more like poaching really, until just cooked.
drain and flake the meat, let it cool and mash with a fork with  black pepper and a dash of horseradish sauce. i add a dash of soy to mine. you can use chilli sauce instead of horseradish if u like.
bay leaves, chives or parsley can be added too

Sounds good :yum: If you run some melted butter over the top of containers it will keep for a few more days. I don't suppose you live near me? ::)
