    Home smoking is very easy, in fact you can do it with an old wok!
    There are a lot of books available now on how to do it.
    Give it a go you will surprise and impress yourself once you have seen how easy it is to produce.

    I used the smoked mackerel, along with some other LIDL fish for a fish pie earlier this week. Worked out really well. Very tasty. Have also made a pate with the mackerel before (similar to olaola's post), and it was really good.

    I love the smoked mackerel in Lidl. However, I buy the smoked fillets, not the whole fish, just out of habit mostly.

    Nice things to do with smoked mackerel

    - Pate - creme fraiche, lemon juice, dill, pepper
    - With salad and brown bread
    - Nigel Slaters smoked mackerel and bacon fishcakes

    i like the Lidl ones, always very nice.

    i'd normally just whack them under a very hot grill, skin side down first, then skin side up for a few mins to crisp it up and have it with some nice buttered granary toast on a saturday morning. very simple and very tasty. :)

    They're excellent :) just flake it up and toss into a leafy salad or even through pasta.
