How to Use
Open the can carefully and remove the lid fully. The mackerel can be served straight from the can over rice, bread, crackers, or boiled provisions, or gently heated in a pan or small pot.
For a quick meal, warm the contents over low heat and serve with onions, peppers, or herbs, or mix into stews, pasta dishes, or breakfast plates.
- Handle gently to keep the fish pieces as whole as possible if presentation is important.
- Do not boil vigorously, as this can break up the fish and over-reduce the sauce.
- Season lightly after tasting, since the sauce is already salted and seasoned.
