Smoked Mackerel Sandwich, with Egg
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!

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 recommendedNutrition
