La Curiosa Mackerel Fillets in Olive Oil with Curry and Chilli
Caballa Canella - Rogue Mackerel! A warming twist on the classic tin: rich mackerel fillets are lifted by an aromatic curry blend and just a hint of chilli. The balance is clever—earthy, gently spicy, and deeply savoury, without overpowering the natural flavour of the fish. Serve with steamed rice, atop crackers with yoghurt, or as a quick, flavour-packed pasta stir-in.
 
Wine match: A spicy, textured white like a Rhône-style blend or a Gewürztraminer stands up well to the curry notes. In Australia, look for a Marsanne-Roussanne blend or a textural Pinot Gris.
