JOSE GOURMET Mackerel Paté

A combination of mackerel with tomato, salt, olive oil, vinegar, and spices to make a great snack or addition to a picnic.

A pâté made from a blue fish (thus are called in the Mediterranean area the edible saltwater or freshwater fish with a fat percentage over 2.5%) has properties that go well beyond the pleasure of the palate, as it provides an added source of nutrients.
