MACKEREL Escabeche | Bart's Fish Tales

Guys, the festive season is here, and I want to inspire you with some amazing seafood recipes to serve during Christmas, New Years, or any other special occasion! Let’s start with this terrific dish, a Mackerel escabeche MY WAY!
We got some beautiful sustainable oily mackerel, which we’re going to poach in a lovely orange juice with soft veggies and great hints of spices.. this dish is so simple, but will definitely blow your mind. A great recipe for a special dinner! And the best thing about escabeche is, you can prepare it on forehand and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days. In that way, the flavours will only more intense.
Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

What a delicious recipe, like the way the citrus will cut some of the oiliness of the fish! Superb!

[@CutTheFat]

Beyond shrimp, I can't think of eating much seafood/fish for the holidays. Looking forward to the next few videos from you! I don't know if I've ever had mackerel, but it looked really delicious!

[@Bartsfishtales]

+CutTheFat So many options for seafood during the holidays! You should experiment. Thanks for watching.

Yet another delicious recipe. Thank you for sharing. Wishing I had access to mackerel here. Wishing you and your family a Blessed Christmas holiday. Thank you for a year of delicious recipes. Blessings ChefMike

[@Bartsfishtales]

+chef mike Thanks for watching again Mike! Happy Holidays.

[@Rimpelmans]

Great! Mackerel is not a very expensive type of fish. Serving restaurant type dishes, even on a tight budget, I like that!

[@Bartsfishtales]

+Rimpelmans Thanks!

beatiful

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

Lovely recipe Bart! I'm curious about the fennel seeds combined with the orange juice. That sounds delicious. By the way, you should try smoked mackerel, fried crispy on a pan. Not really for christmas, but it taste so good!

[@Bartsfishtales]

+ThisIsMyFullName Completely agree! I love mackerel..

[@crodher5865]

This looks amazing!! Have to try it ( and i also love fennel , so its perfect!) is this escabeche dish traditional in the Netherlands?

[@Bartsfishtales]

+Cristina Rodriguez Escabeche is not a traditional Dutch dish, it actually originated from around the Mediterranean as a way to preserve seafood.

[@silvanoouagadougou]

Hey Bart! How about making a video on bouillabaisse?

[@Bartsfishtales]

+silvanoouagadougou That's on my list for quite a while now! Thanks for the reminder.

[@arthydennie1562]

wonderful recipe! Are there any alternatives for the mackerel ?

[@Bartsfishtales]

Hey Arthy, great question. There are a lot of varieties on escabeche.. So I would suggest experimenting with the fish you like. You can think about sardines, or maybe tuna! Personally I would go for oily fish.

[@arthydennie1562]

Ah thankyou for the advise :D

[@TheGamblermusic]

is there an other way to have mackerel rather than marinated ? I've always seen it like that I'm sure it can be eaten otherwise. What's the best other way to have it ?

[@Bartsfishtales]

+The Gambler Smoked mackerel is awesome too.. Or just pan-fried on the skin. Delicious.

[@lclkm]

Great recipe Bart! But Mackerel fish got plenty of bones right?

[@Bartsfishtales]

+lclkm Yes, but I only use fillets in this recipe.

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

+lclkm It's not as bad as herring, though.

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

Where is escabeche from? I know they do it in Peru and Mexico and Chile so I'd guess Spain?

[@Towanie]

we also do it in the west Indies and the caribbean

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

+camille bell ye I did a bit of research and it's from the medetiranean. I guess they brought it when they started colliding and since there was a lot of fish it became part of the culture.

[@Bartsfishtales]

+aR0ttenBANANA96 That's right. It originated around the Mediterranean, originally as a way to preserve fish.. but it's so tasty!

[@jiansernkok4895]

What is the origin of this dish from?

[@Bartsfishtales]

+Jian Sern kok It actually originated around the Mediterranean as a way to preserve seafood.
