Rob Roy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 We love smoked mackeral but I have yet to find it here. Does anyone know if it is sold in France? [img]http://bestsmileys.com/christmas3/8.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 They have it in our local Leclerc - near the lumpfish, smoked salmon etc. Usually vacuum-packed.Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Also conserved in bend back tins with ring pulls.Have you tried bloaters, called bouffis in french, delicious, always herring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Yes we have, or at least my husband has, but I'm not so keen. I used to like using fresh smoked mackeral as a starter or for a light lunch with salad or for making a pate which I suppose you could do with the tinned stuff, although the only tinned mackeral I've seen is either in white wine or mustard sauce and not smoked. I've only ever seen herring fillets vacuum packed, but when I next go to a LeClerc (the nearest is about 30 kms from us) I'll have a look. Thanks for the suggestions.

pachapapa Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Yeah the mustard and oil ones are popular, must admit I am partial to the mustard ones. Lidl have got german ones in ring pulls, delicious. But the shrink packs seem to be ubiquitous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluestick Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Mrs Gluey and I adore Smoked Mackerel.Hot horseradish sauce and brown bread and butter.Yum.A Tudor dish which is very well worth trying is poached mackerel (Treat like poached haddock) served with a sour gooseberry sauce.Superb!

NormanH Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I get peppered mackerel not really smoked but not the tinned sort in Marché plus which is part of the Carrefour empire, so you might find that in your local Carrefour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 It was there in the Super U fish section today, vacuum packed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Ah, now SuperU is our 'local' so I'll have a look, thanks Wooly. All the 'big' supermarkets/hypermarkets are at least 30 kms in Brive or Limoges and I rarely go to either if I can help it![:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Look in the prepacked fish section. But Super U and Hyper U are franchises so stock does vary a bit. By the way, could you smoke your own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I find rolling them the most difficult part even with a little machine and ready rolled mops are a bu##er to light.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
