Mackerel sashimi

Using this recipe for the cure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuzgJ2tyjLM

Although I substituted white wine vinegar which I'm sure is probably illegal in Japan. Also, the mackerel was only two hours out of the water so I expect I didn't need a 24-hour cure. Will try again.



Baked mackerel

Super fresh Brighton mackerel, salt, pepper oil, bake. I probed it to perfection with my Thermapen.

Served with anchovies, balsamic, aioli and baked some new potatoes I had in the fridge.



Cobnuts

Found them on a bike ride. Lovely little things!



Raspberry mackerel ceviche

Recreated at last! And every bit as good as it was the first time. The addition of balsamic I think takes it to the next level.



Cuttlefish and rice

It does seem to need a bit of love in prep but cuttlefish can be lovely.



Wrasse

A handsome fellow!



Spider crab, wrasse, plaice, skate




Wild garlic




Beautiful first line caught mackerel of the year

Haven't cooked them so fresh for a long time. What a treat.



Pan fried mackerel with ceviche crostini

Pan fried mackerel, ceviche, crostini, crispy skin, aioli, balsamic pearls, anchovy.





Skate cheeks with herb crust




Spider crab paté




Home made soft goat cheese with olive oil and ground pepper
