    Ideal smoke, texture, moisture. Great flake with a slightly-slightly firmer exterior due to the smoking process. I don’t really know what juniper tastes like on its own, but the depth of flavor in this tin is simply fantastic. Doesn’t take the flavor too far in any one direction, very balanced. The only downside of this tin is that there’s so much oil that you can easily spill it all over the place upon opening … don’t ask me how I know. Just drain the oil off immediately and you’ll be fine.

    Thumbs up. This tin could honestly be the best version of hot-smoked mackerel that exists on the planet (especially with price taken into consideration). If you like any smoked fish AT ALL, especially smoked salmon, you have to try this. It’s brilliant and it’s excellent directly from the tin with no additional items needed … but also could easily be the star of any preparation that involves smoked fish. If you put this on a bagel with a little cream cheese?!? Would be unbelievable. Highly, highly recommended.

    Nice, firm, skin-on fillets of mackerel. Good smoke flavor. Coriander and juniper were prominent, but not overpowering. There were no whole spices in the tin; the flavoring comes from coriander and juniper oil.

    Overall, this was an excellent tin of fish. I look forward to trying the other offerings from this brand as well.

    Flavor is awesome here, texture I found a little different (funny?) but not bad. Probably because the skin was on during smoking, which again isn’t bad, just different than I’m used to. Great smoke flavor and could definitely get the coriander. Overall, it was good, but I’d pick kippered herring over this tin next time.

    Excellent flavored tin, right up there with one of my favorites, the Fangst chamomile and heather.

    I ate these plain with a seeded cracker. Texture is on point, nice firm chew that was slightly reduced due to being smoked I assume. Flavors are out of the world, perfectly balanced and really a nice combination. Reminded me of sitting at the christmas dinner table.

    This was my first time trying mackerel, and I think it’s a good introduction (much milder than the Nuri mackerel). I found the fish to be pleasantly oily and fishy in a good way, but not overpowering. The lemony note from the coriander was welcome. I made this into a little fish salad with sour cream, cream cheese, celery, lemon, pickled red onion, and lots of black pepper. If you like mackerel, or want to try it the first time, I think this is a great choice.

    A very tasty tin. Strong flavor from both the smoke and the seasoning. The fillets held together, didn’t fall apart, and were firm without being the slightest bit dry. In my opinion the mackerel was quite salty, but that didn’t change the fact that I inhaled this tin. Overall, this fish had great texture, flavor, and price. It’s versatile and would work with many different kinds of dishes.

    Definitely worth trying if you’re a fan of mackerel and enjoy smoky flavors.

    This was great. Very approachable for anyone who likes smoked fish. Nice smoky flavor with a pleasant, slightly Christmassy, flavoring from the Juniper and coriander.

    I’m a big fan of Mack, but I didn’t love this tin. Not as mild, a bit too fishy and firm for my liking. But the spices are a nice touch.

    I’m just branching out of the everyday KO fish tins you get at the grocery store and this is one of my first purchases.

    The texture of the fish was firm and pleasant with absolutely no problems of fishy flavor. That said, I found it way too salty for my liking, it overpowered any other flavor in the tin. I’d be willing to try it again, but I don’t see it being a favorite at this point.
