This Mackerel Patties recipe is simple, tasty and works every time. Serve these patties with my creamy BBQ sauce and you won’t be disappointed!
I love seafood. A lot. Crab legs, shrimps, fish, mussels, lobster… Oh! I am drooling as typing these words. Today, I have a very SIMPLE, CHEAP, and DELICIOUS Mackerel Patties recipe to share with you. If you enjoy seafood, you definitely don’t want to miss it.
I love using canned mackerel in my recipes because of its versatility, flavor and impressive nutrient profile. Plus, there has been a lot of research done, indicating that regular consumption could help drop your blood pressure and cholesterol, protect against depression, and keep your bones healthy and strong. So if you haven’t tried it already, now it’s a great time to do it.

WHERE TO BUY MACKEREL?
I am using Canned Mackerel in Brine in this recipe. It could be found in many large grocery stores, such as WalMart, in canned seafood section, right next to anchovies and sardines. Of course, you can buy canned Mackerel on Amazon. There are several brands out there (such as Bumble Bee, Polar, Chicken of the Sea) and they all work well.

April 4, 2019 at 10:36 amHi! Instead of canned mackerel would cooked/boiled or fresh Mackerel work?
Thanks!

March 19, 2019 at 10:08 pmThis recipe was very good. We had these many times as our kids were growing up. Well we seasoned them differently but I really like yours. Only difference is I baked them instead of frying them. They did very good. Not dry nor tough! Thanks

November 25, 2018 at 1:45 pmPrepping the mackerel made me a bit squeamish, my husband couldn’t have handled it…but the end results was worth it. I substituted 1 cup rice crispies for the bread crumbs, and white onion for the chives. Not big on mustard, so I added just 1 tablespoon of mustard. I loved them. My husband who planned on hating, them ate three. Thanks for the great recipe!
Tania says
November 25, 2018 at 11:53 pmThank you so much, Millie! I am glad you made it work! 🙂

September 2, 2018 at 7:51 pmJust finished making these, and they are fantastic!
I did change it up a bit by adding celery, lots of onion and skipped the mayonnaise, (which I’ve never cared for), and instead used a small amount of of horseradish sauce……awesome!
Tania says
September 3, 2018 at 12:25 amWow! You got me intrigued with the horseradish sauce, Susan! Happy you loved these!
