Horse Mackerel Fillets in Olive Oil, Garlic & Parsley Miss Can

Portuguese Horse Mackerel with Garlic & Parsley

Horse Mackerel Fillets in Olive Oil, Garlic & Parsley by Miss Can take a classic Portuguese fish and pair it with three ingredients that need very little introduction: olive oil, garlic, and parsley.

Known as carapau in Portugal, horse mackerel has a distinctive savory flavor and firm, meaty texture. Here, the garlic and parsley add freshness and aroma, while the olive oil brings everything together without taking attention away from the fish.

A Classic Portuguese Combination

Horse mackerel is a familiar sight in Portuguese cuisine, particularly along the coast. Miss Can keeps the recipe simple, combining the fillets with flavors that you'll find again and again in traditional Portuguese cooking.

The result is a flavorful conserva that's easy to enjoy straight from the tin but also versatile enough to become part of a quick meal.

How to Enjoy Horse Mackerel Fillets

We'd start by trying them straight from the tin with some crusty bread to soak up the olive oil, garlic, and parsley.

They're also excellent over toast, alongside boiled potatoes, in a simple salad, or served as part of a Portuguese-inspired aperitivo. And definitely don't leave the oil behind — that's where plenty of the flavor is.
