    Memories of my youth!
    Gooseberry jam is delish, really really delish.
    Gooseberry fool, gooseberry tart...they are a lovely fruit to have, my garden will one day have them also.

    Find a rhubarb tart recipe and sub gooseberry instead, it will be lovely..serve with custard or ice cream (ice cream and gooseberries..wow totally delish).

    Honestly I've done mackerel with apples, rhubarb, cranberry and just today with oranges - its always worked out with different fruits that I have tried.

    Its a great fish, oily, but when fresh not at all 'fishy' and its cheap and seasonal and really works well with other flavours - at least with fruit in my experience.
    Worth a shot for sure, wish I had goseberry here in the kitchen garden - looks like I'll have to expand it by 2 beds next year, one for fruit and I need more space for veg anyway

    Not at all, the acid in the gooseberries really cuts through and balances the oiliness of the mackrel

    Would you be interested in a nice cold gooseberry soup? It can be eaten warm, too, but nicer chilled.
