    I wanted to love this, but overall found it to be just okay. I really enjoyed the hint of lemon, but the fishy taste of this mackerel was very overpowering. Great for those who love strong fishy flavor, but this was not my favorite tin of Ramon Pena.

    This was a fantastic can of fish! The fillets were succulent and soft, but with a great toothsome texture. Since there wasn’t a whole lot of oil in the tin, I’m assuming that the fish did a good job at absorbing the oil, or perhaps these mackerels were a bit fattier than average. They tasted great as well with just enough lemon to accent the fish but not overpower it and were properly seasoned with salt. There was also a hint of another flavor that I could not identify and after re-examining the box, it must be the coriander. The oil good enough just to sip but would be delicious drizzled over some rice. Not only were the fillets delicious, but they also stayed together well enough to be used in a composed dish if one is able to resist noshing them right out of the can. A bit pricey, but this would make a great special occasion tin.

    Agree with the first reviewer that I wanted to love these but wouldn’t buy them again. I’m big on mackerel fillets, and seasoned fish, and especially seasoned mackerel fillets, but perhaps the overall flavor was too subtle for me. Nothing wrong with this tin at all, just not a home run for me.

    Lovely mackerel fillets, and I was extra-pleased by the lemony note. I’ve grown used to many cans from many providers delivering only very muted echoes of what’s promised on the can. This was just as advertised and I didn’t reach for a lemon, hot sauce, vinegar, or anything else. All I did, in fact, was drizzle a bit of the oil I’d drained and reserved from the can.  

    I wonder whether there’s simply a lot of tin-to-tin variation in the mackerel world. I see the comments above, and I’ve certainly experienced a much broader spectrum of mild-to-strong fishiness factor across skinless/boneless fillets from various companies. I contrast this with sardines, where I perceive a narrower range in the fragrance department. Anyway, I feel I’m finicky, but this tin I had, my first lemon mackerel from Ramon Pena, was quite mild.
