Mackerel - smoked in nature - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can experiment with other hardwoods like applewood, cherry, or hickory chips for different flavor profiles. Just ensure they are food-grade smoking chips and soak them before use.
Smoked mackerel is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. For longer storage, freezing is recommended.
Yes, you can freeze smoked mackerel. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.
Smoked mackerel is delicious on its own, with a squeeze of lemon juice. You can also flake it into salads, use it as a pate on crackers or bread, or add it to pasta dishes.
This recipe specifically uses mackerel, which is fish. To adapt it for a vegetarian diet, you would need to replace the mackerel with a vegetarian protein source, perhaps marinating and smoking firm tofu or portobello mushrooms with a similar marinade.
Yes, other oily fish like herring or trout would work well in this recipe. Adjust cooking time as needed depending on the thickness of the fish.
You can use a regular grill to create a makeshift smoker. Place the soaked wood chips in a smoker box or a foil pouch with holes poked in it, and place it directly over the heat source. Position the fish on the opposite side of the grill, away from direct heat, and close the lid to trap the smoke.
