Description
Atlantic mackerel fillets preserved in a mild and aromatic curry sauce. These skinless and boneless fillets represent the traditional Portuguese pre-cooking method focused on texture and ingredient integrity.
Craft & Origin
ABC+ sources mackerel from the Atlantic using sustainable local fishing methods. Following the traditional pre-cooked method, the fish is lightly steamed before being cleaned and deboned by hand. This process ensures a firm structure and prevents the fish from stewing in its own juices. The fillets are packed in a mild curry sauce made with vegetable oil, onions, and a proprietary spice blend. This preparation honors historical trade influences through a lens of craft production. It is a technical approach that prioritizes the quality of the fish over industrial speed.
Flavor & Texture
Meaty and firm with clean oceanic character. Warm spice notes and a subtle savory depth from the onion.
How to Use
Serve atop jasmine rice or enjoy with crackers and a squeeze of lime.
Why We Like It
