Well, the mackerel are still languishing intact in the bottom of the fridge. Spent last night in the pub instead. God, my head hurts today Bloody fish.


How long do they keep, anyway?

Well they are past their best. Should have had them right after you got home. They should be oK though.

As for gutting, cut off head behind gills, slit along from anus towards head area, remove bloody squishy bits (technical terms for guts) and a quick rinse. A few diagonal slices each side and grill untill slightly crispy. Serve with a bit of horseradish (serving suggestion ).

It's not a nasty job Kirstie, just sounds like it.

I used to to the gutting off the back of the RIB, then hold the fish tightly over the back. A great way to wash them out

Fish is always best fresh and not kept for too long. If the fridge is not really cold, I'd dig a hole in the garden and bury the fish. Better there than the bin.

i thought girls could reach in and grab a blokes heart along with any other organs that are present and rip them out in one move, FFS a fish shouldn't be any challenge

ps bin the fish if the guts are still in or get some more bog roll in

Mmmm, to be honest I'd rather not risk eating them now, as the fridge isn't as cold as it could be. I had a nasty experience once, with some mackerel I bought from Sainsbury's. It was reduced because it had to be eaten that day, which I did. Half an hour afterwards my face felt very hot. I went to the bathroom and I had a hot, red, blotchy rash all over my face, arms, torso and the fronts of my legs. It gradually subsided over the next couple of hours, but it scared me at the time. But that's the only adverse reaction to fish that I've had.
