Firm fillets of Atlantic mackerel meet a bright, aromatic escabeche—think vinegar, olive oil, and warm spices working in perfect harmony. The result is a punchy, well-balanced tin that wakes up the palate. Great flaked through warm potato salad or served with roasted peppers and crusty bread.
 
Wine pairing: A glass of Spanish Godello brings out the subtle spice, while a Mornington Peninsula Pinot Gris makes for an easy-drinking Aussie match.
