Rich, Buttery, and Kissed with Smoke and Heat
This beautifully designed tin of Spanish mackerel is a bold statement piece for your curated provisions collection. Fishwife's slow-smoked mackerel is wild-caught off the coast of Spain, then carefully smoked over oak wood and finished with a kiss of chili flakes for a subtle, warming heat. Packed in premium extra virgin olive oil, each fillet is rich, buttery, and utterly addictive.
Tasting Notes & Sensory Experience
Mackerel's naturally rich, oily texture is enhanced by slow oak-wood smoking, which adds layers of complexity without overpowering the fish's inherent flavor. The chili flakes provide a gentle, building heat that complements rather than competes. The Spanish EVOO ties everything together with fruity, peppery notes. The result is a deeply satisfying, umami-forward experience that's both comforting and sophisticated.

Why Mackerel?
Mackerel is one of the most nutrient-dense fish in the ocean, packed with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and B vitamins. It's also one of the most sustainable seafood choices—mackerel populations are well-managed, and the fish reproduce quickly. The rich, oily flesh makes it ideal for smoking and canning, as the process enhances rather than diminishes its natural flavor.
