    Memories of my youth!
    Gooseberry jam is delish, really really delish.
    Gooseberry fool, gooseberry tart...they are a lovely fruit to have, my garden will one day have them also.

    Honestly I've done mackerel with apples, rhubarb, cranberry and just today with oranges - its always worked out with different fruits that I have tried.

    Its a great fish, oily, but when fresh not at all 'fishy' and its cheap and seasonal and really works well with other flavours - at least with fruit in my experience.
    Worth a shot for sure, wish I had goseberry here in the kitchen garden - looks like I'll have to expand it by 2 beds next year, one for fruit and I need more space for veg anyway

    Not at all, the acid in the gooseberries really cuts through and balances the oiliness of the mackrel

    Would you be interested in a nice cold gooseberry soup? It can be eaten warm, too, but nicer chilled.
