Archives: Request: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel Archived on 09/05/2009 I am looking for a recipe for canned mackerel. I get my food from the food bank and I was given a can of mackerel. I don't know what to do with it. Would I treat it like salmon? Thanks, Sandy from Baltimore, MD Feedback: RE: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel I've used mackerel in place of salmon in several recipes. Much cheaper and the taste is pretty much the same. (07/17/2006) By Darlene RE: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel My boys still love eating mackerel croquettes and they're both in their 20's. Just add an egg, chopped onions, seasoning, and bread crumbs (the kind you buy in a canister). Form the croquettes and lightly brown them in a little bit of oil. Squeeze a little fresh lemon on after cooking and you're good to go. It is also one of the richest sources of heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

My aunt taught me this. It works, and you don't taste the mustard, either.

(We eat spines before making, just as a treat, don't know how that bit started. You can remove skin, we stretch this canned fish so leave it on). Add 3 cups bread crumbs. Mix in. Pat into baking dish (don't grease beforehand) and bake 350 F for 30 minutes to 40 minutes. Eat hot or cook in loaf pan and cool, slice for sandwiches.

(03/08/2008) By Diggo RE: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel I add canned mackerel to salad. I first chop up the fish, bones, skin, and all, and sprinkle with Vitamin C powder to lessen the fishy taste and odor. I now prefer mackerel to salmon and tuna. (03/25/2008) By IggyDalrymple RE: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel This is one of my all time favorites from when I was a child and I still cook it and my daughters love it. Chop up one onion, saute it in butter or whatever you may have, add the mackerel to it. Cook on low heat until hot. Season to taste, and serve over hot rice with bread and butter. (04/15/2008) By Michelle RE: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel Mackerel is far healthier than red meat. It contains more protein per pound than round steak Round Steak = 30 grams Mackerel = 70 grams Plus the fat in fish is actually healthy instead of unhealthy. I regularly buy canned mackerel or salmon and make fish cakes. Just add a couple of eggs, some rolled oats, chopped onions, some red pepper flakes if you have them. Use a half cup measuring cup and form patties. Bake on greased sheet of pan fry in a little oil on both sides. Serve with either ketchup or a mayonnaise type sauce. Very healthy and very cheap. (06/18/2008) By Jim RE: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel I use it with the pasta they gave me. (06/18/2008) RE: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel At my house we just pop the top, drain some excess oil, and put the can directly on a burner to cook the mackerel until it's soft and done. Add soy sauce and chopped scallions at the end and eat with rice. No pots, pans, or bowls to clean up except the one you put rice into. (07/08/2008) RE: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel Out of curiosity I thought I would google search if any one has posted recipes using canned mackerel, oh yeah. Try this one, my family has it a lot, it's easy simple and really good nutritionally: empty 1 or 2 cans of mackerel into an oven proof dish add sliced onions teaspoon chili (or not if you don't like it) season and add fresh or dry herbs as you like 1 or 2 can chopped tomatoes Then this is the best part. Cover with 1 or 2 cans of good quality coconut cream and bake for 20 - 30 minutes. Serve with fresh boiled rice, hmm yum d-lsh! (10/26/2008) By Rolie RE: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel I make chowder with canned mackerel and it is delicious. This is the highest and best use of the product. Place 1 can of fish in a two quart pot, bones, juice and all. Break up the mackerel into fairly small chunks and add 1 can of diced tomatoes. Dice and add 1 onion, a quarter cup of rice or a cubed potato and salt and pepper to season. Add 1-2 cans of water or chicken broth. Boil vigorously and then simmer for a half hour or so. The longer it cooks, the more tender the fish becomes. This is very similar to bluefish chowder. Enjoy. (11/09/2008) By Bess RE: Recipes Using Canned Mackerel I'm a Save-A-Lot shopper and this is one of our favorite suppers. Canned Salmon I usually replace crab in a creamy crab cake recipe, but with canned Mackerel I use a deviled clam recipe. Mini Food processor or a blender creates the best results. 1 medium green pepper, 1 medium onion, 1 medium potato - all raw, cut in chunks and chop very tiny in blender/FP. Empty this mixture in mixing bowl. Drain one can of mackerel an toss in blender/FP, bones and all. (They have great calcium and will grind/disappear.) Add 1 large egg and about 2 tbsp of Old Bay or seasoning of choice. Chop for about 30 seconds. Add to mixing bowl. Mix all well and gently dip by the spoonful onto bread crumbs and coat. Fry in pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes each side. Serve with cocktail or tartar sauce. (09/05/2009) By Margiemix Report Spam or Abuse
