The wonderfully bitter, floral juice of bergamot oranges makes the perfect vinaigrette when combined with olive oil. Peter Coucquyt shares his delicious recipe for Smoked mackerel with avocado and bergamot, which is freshly smoked using wood chips and a metal tin. Peter recommends using pear smoking wood chips, however, other varieties will work just as well.

Place the tin on gas hob at a low heat and lower the mackerel on to the wire rack. Cover with a lid that has been pierced several times so the smoker as an air inlet. Cook for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave to cool. Season with black pepper and set aside
