  • They are distinct fish. True mackerel belongs to the Scomber family and is known for rich, soft and oily flesh. Horse mackerel belongs to the Trachurus family and is generally smaller, with a firmer texture and a clean, savoury flavour. Both take beautifully to preserving.
  • Mackerel is ready to eat from the tin. Try it with boiled potatoes, mustard and herbs; on toast with pickled onion; or folded gently into pasta, rice or a crisp salad. Let the preserving oil or sauce become part of the dish.
  • Choose olive oil when you want the fish itself to lead, especially for toast, salads and simple plates. Smoked, pickled and sauce-led recipes bring more seasoning and are excellent when the tin is the centre of a meal. There is no better option—only a different mood.
  • Follow the label on the individual product. As a general rule, move leftovers with their oil or sauce to a covered container, refrigerate promptly, and enjoy within two days. Keep unopened tins in a cool, dry place.
