What you'll need
4 mackerel, filleted and pin boned
500g new season Comber potatoes

Put all the chutney ingredients into a saucepan. Bring to the boil and then reduce to simmer for approx 2-3 hours. Adjust the sweetness if necessary. Allow to cool and refrigerate overnight.
Dice the potatoes into 1cm cubes and boil until tender. Drain and refresh in cold water.
Drain again and add the mustard, lemon zest, chives, salt & pepper and bind with the crème fraiche.
Pan fry the mackerel fillets in a hot pan, skin side down first for approximately 2 minutes. Turn for 1 minute.
Serve on the potato salad with rhubarb chutney.
Drizzle with local rapeseed oil and garnish with a wedge of lemon.
