Why You’ll Love This

These rich, meaty mackerel fillets are gently wood-smoked, then packed in extra virgin olive oil for a simple tin with deep flavor and plenty of character.

What Makes It Special

Porthos uses a traditional wood-smoking method that gives the fish a warm, savory smokiness without masking the natural richness of the mackerel. Extra virgin olive oil keeps the fillets supple and makes the oil worth using, too.

Perfect Pairings

Pair it with crusty bread, roasted peppers, cornichons, grainy mustard, white beans, boiled potatoes, bitter greens, lemon, and a crisp Portuguese white wine.

Serving Ideas

Serve straight from the tin with bread, flake over a warm potato salad, fold into white beans with herbs, or layer onto toast with mustard and pickled vegetables.
