Mackerel & Sardines ?

[kingdowieonthewall]

Not keen on either but I need to introduce into regular diet.
Ive tried plain & flavoured out the tin, not great..
Any sensible suggestions to cook or dress to make more palatable?
thx

Worth a shot.

Mackerel is a tasty and inexpensive fish, but to get the best results use the freshest you can find.

starve yourself for 48 hours and then they will be delicious. Do this many times until you familiarize your pallet. Thereafter, you can eat them as normal.

Get a spud and make fishcakes

BBQ the sardines - add a few mediterranean herbs and a drop of lemon.

Olives and feta cheese to accompany. Wholemeal pitta bread.

Job done!

Very good for you I have them regularly alongside porridge and a fruit. 👍 Separately!

Put fishes in a blender, with ketchup and mayonnaise.
Spread in sandwiches.

Sardines on toast 👍

How about as a pizza topping? With a few herbs and other ingredients, I don't think it tastes too bad.
When it comes to certain vitamins, acids and trace elements, most of them are available in capsule form if you can't get used to them as food. Of course, this is a bit expensive.

Sardines in an Italian tomato sauce is the only oily fish I can eat, or smoked salmon. Love it. Can’t stand salmon fillet.

That salmon is great baked briefly in a honey and soy dressing and sticky Thai rice

Tinned Pilchards (Sardines) mashed with salad cream on toast you cannot beat

avoid tinned sardines, tinned mackerel spread on toast with a squeeze of lemon, ground black pepper and a drop or three of Encona chile sauce is a fine thing. Or you can peel the skin off a smoked mackerel and pop it in the blender with gherkins, red onion, mayo and lemon juice and you have a splendid pate. Bon appetit mon brave👍

Some anchovies add flavour and are good for you.
