Mackerel DipTry this delicious Mackerel Dip.

Mackerel, when mentioning this traditional Chilean fish it’s impossible not to recall the famous marketing strategy during the ’80s when the company advertised it as “salmon mackerel” to make it sound elegant. In Chile, the mackerel had a reputation as a fish for the poor, but not anymore, now mackerel is well regarded and not cheap. Mackerel is very tasty, and my grandmother used to mix it with chopped tomatoes and a little mayo for the perfect salad or to stuffed avocado (a personal favorite).

Mackerel is perfect as a dip for canapes or end-of-the-year parties. With a crisp wine pairing, it is a great aperitif.wine-tasting

Wine for this party was a present from my friends at Pura 8 and we enjoyed it with my friend from Stay at Home Cocktails.
