Ahoy, fellow tinned fish enthusiasts! Let’s set sail on a culinary adventure with the refined flavors of Berthe Petits Maquereaux. Since 1853, this premium canned fish has been the pride of Portuguese waters, hand-picked from the Matosinhos market and lovingly packed in olive oil by the legendary Ramirez & Ca. (Filhos) SA cannery. With its rich history and premium quality, Berthe’s small Atlantic chub mackerels are a treasure waiting to elevate your appetizer game. Today, we’re turning these beauties into a chic and easy appetizer that’s sure to reel in the compliments: Mackerel Crostini with Cream Cheese and Lemon Zest.
Arrange your Berthe Mackerel Crostini on a serving platter and watch them disappear faster than a school of fish at the sight of a net! These crostini are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the components ahead of time and assemble them just before serving. Perfect for an elegant aperitif or a sophisticated snack, these crostini capture the essence of Portuguese seas with every bite.
Whether you’re hosting a fancy dinner party or simply treating yourself to a luxurious snack, these Berthe Mackerel Crostini will have you hooked from the first bite.
