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.
