La Belle-Iloise are an iconic French producer, renowned for their beautiful tins and delicious produce. Since 1932 they have been producing tins of sardines and mackerel from Quiberon, Brittany the home of French sardines. Now it is run by Caroline Hilliet, the granddaughter of founder, Georges Hilliet. We highly recommend a trip to one of their magnificent stores during any trip to France.
 
This delicious can features authentic and delicious mackerel fillets with mustard. The mackerel, with its creamy sauce simmered the old fashioned way, with its little mustard seeds, and flakes of Brittany seaweed harvested by a local producer, takes on tangy marine notes.
A light piquancy adds to its soft, melt-in the-mouth texture. The subtle balance of its sauce is achieved with a freshly produced Dijon mustard that is combined with sunflower oil, known for its neutrality.
