Hmm Mackerel vs Herring/Kippers. Which should I get to mix in with a pasta sauce?
Not herring.
Mackerel or sardines would be my choice
I'd do sardines more if they didn't have the hairs on them. I didn't quite enjoy the texture of the ones I bought, maybe I might have to try a different brand.
I haven't tried Mackerel before so not sure of how they end up texture wise but I did love the taste and feel of herring.
For me mackerel is pretty much interchangeable with tuna, maybe just a bit tastier and healthier. I'd prefer that in pasta, especially if using cheese
Is mackerel as "meaty" as tuna? I sometimes find tuna a little bit too meaty and not as soft as say cooked fish pieces.
It's along similar lines, just not as extreme in the meatiness I'd say
I might try some next week after I get paid, I’m feeling like fish for some reason but the soft flakey kind.
