Alternative ingredients?
Mackerel could be substituted by sardine or sea bream, also, you could use mango to replace the pineapple.
Wine Pairing
An unusual, but certainly tasty combination. This recipe gives you an obvious choice for the pairing: Cider. Your best bet would be to go for an artisanal cider fermented in the bottle. It can be sourced from all over the world but your best bet would be from Brittany, Normandie or Basque country in France, Asturias or Basque Country in Spain or Canada… It will taste better served from a wine glass. A non-alcoholic alternative could have a very sharp, almost dry farmhouse cloudy apple juice made out of Cox or Bramley apples.
