This Smoked Mackerel Salad hit the spot tonight. No cooking in my kitchen today.

We all loved this Smoked Mackerel Salad, the salty fish, the crisp lettuce, creamy avocado and the refreshing summer fruits. All I added was a yogurt dressing and a few crispy rolls and voila, dinner was served.

Mackerel is somewhat underrated, especially amongst the fishermen. Well, at least the fisherman in my house. My husband says they use it as bait when catching tuna. All I know is that it is very good for you and also that is delicious in paté, sandwiches and yes, even pastas.

Mackerel is an oily fish and a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. The flesh of mackerel spoils quickly,so caution must be taken especially in the summer months. Three Streams has taken the worry out of eating mackerel. I love that the portions are lightly smoked and ready to eat in your favorite recipe. Did I mention mackerel makes the most delicious fish cakes?
