Cookingbites Recipe Challenge: Mackerel

[The Late Night Gourmet]

That's great! My issue is that I simply can't eat it (I have an intolerance reaction) so I'm relying on other people tasting - plus my understanding of flavour combinations.

Allow me to speak for everybody else on this forum when I say:

The fact that you’ve been able to concoct these phenomenal dishes that you can’t properly taste is astonishing.

Special mention also to @morning glory who managed four entries despite being unable to eat mackerel!

Thank you, @epicuric. This ingredient really inspired me. I didn't realize what a wonderful, versatile challenge fish mackerel was until I jumped into this challenge.

A similarly versatile ingredient is something I was hoping to figure out for the next Challenge. A lot of amazing ingredients have been chosen, but I was surprised one of the most omnipresent ingredients hasn't been picked...until now:

So I pick butter, which I'm expanding to include all forms of butter (vegan or otherwise), as well as margarine and lard.
