A simple and subtle combination

This recipe focuses on the harmony between two main ingredients:

• the generous flavour of mackerel
• the fruity notes of organic extra virgin olive oil

Together, they create a simple yet refined seafood specialty.

The know-how of La Compagnie Bretonne

La Compagnie Bretonne processes the mackerel during the best fishing season to ensure optimal quality. The fish mainly come from fishing areas in the Celtic Sea.

• Caught in the Celtic Sea around Scotland and Ireland
• Landed in the ports of Killybegs or Dingle
• Sometimes caught in the North Sea
• Fishing season from October to February

During this period, the fat content of the mackerel is naturally high (at least 20%). Therefore, the fish remains especially tender and flavourful.

Traditional preparation

Once received at the cannery, the mackerel are cooked in a court-bouillon. After cooling, the fillets are cut by hand using scissors. Finally, the fillets are carefully placed into tins by hand and covered with organic extra virgin olive oil before sealing.

• Cooked in court-bouillon
• Filleted by hand using scissors
• Manually packed in the cannery
• Covered with organic extra virgin olive oil

Fishing area

Fishing area: mackerel caught in the North-East Atlantic Ocean (FAO 27).
