Frozen Farm-Raised Small Horse Mackerel

Horse mackerel is a small, quick-growing sea fish with firm flesh and a clean, mildly oceanic flavour — the kind of fish that carries a hard sear without falling apart. These come from aquaculture water and are flash-frozen straight after harvest, so the skin stays bright and the scales intact.

They suit almost any method: pan-fried whole and eaten with the bones crisp, grilled over charcoal, deep-fried, or braised in a light soy and ginger broth. Thaw, rinse, and they need little else. Keep frozen at -18°C and avoid repeated thawing.

• Complete, bright fish with scales intact
• Firm, delicate meat with balanced fat
