Comillas Cuisine: Mackerel (EN)

Mackerel is one of the culinary treasures of Comillas. Freshly caught, it’s crisp and flavorful, perfect for savoring its distinctive texture and taste. Rich in omega-3, it’s a healthy and delicious choice.

Traditionally, mackerel meatballs are prepared in Comillas, a very popular recipe, though there are countless ways to enjoy it: grilled, baked, or marinated—each version highlights its freshness. Additionally, mackerel roe, floured and fried, is a true delicacy.

Every Good Friday, the Bodegas del Muelle hosts the Mackerel Festival, featuring a tasting of grilled mackerel accompanied by traditional music and flutists, making it a must-attend event for locals and visitors alike. Furthermore, you can enjoy this fresh product year-round at the town’s restaurants.
