I love a bit of smoked mackerel and often have a pack in the fridge. This week, I made this simply gorgeous sandwich with some of it, a hard boiled and egg and a slick of mayonnaise. I’d got some hotdog rolls on yellow sticker, so stuffed the mix into there. Oh my – SO good!
What do I need to make a smoked mackerel and egg sandwich?
For 2-3 servings
- some lovely thick sliced bread
- a fillet of smoked mackerel
- a couple of eggs
- mayonnaise, expensive or own brand, doesn’t seem to matter much
How do I make a smoked mackerel sandwich filling?
- strip the fish fillet of its skin and flake into a bowl
- boil a couple of eggs for 5 minutes and once cold, peel, and add them to the fish, giving them a bit of a chop along the way
- add the mayonnaise to the mixing bowl
- give everything a thorough mix
- that’s it, store, covered, in the fridge until needed. It will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days
- once ready to eat, spread a third to a half of the mix onto a slice of thick cut bread, top with the other slice, cut in half and eat, or wrap ready for packed lunch time
- there’s no need for butter or anything else
How to store a smoked mackerel sandwich
In the fridge in an airtight container, this mix will sit quite happily for 3 days. It must be covered as the fish has quite a strong smell.
This filling will not freeze well, so is not recommended
