Filets de maquereaux grillés natures

Filets de maquereaux grillés natures give mackerel a roasted edge that plain canned versions do not have, and that is the point of the whole thing. By our assessment, Filets de maquereaux grillés natures is for people who want canned fish with a little more depth and a less flat flavour, while still keeping the convenience of a ready tin. The grilling brings a drier, more marked taste, but it can also make the texture firmer and less forgiving than the softest canned fillets. In practice these fillets feel a bit more cooked and a bit less slippery, which helps them stand up in salads or on bread. They sit above the most ordinary plain mackerel tins if flavour matters, but they are still firmly pantry food, not fresh fish counter food. The result is simple, smoky-adjacent mackerel that does its job without asking much back.
