Seasonal Suggestion from Jeff - Mackerel

Mackerel is one of my favourite fish and has amazingly eye-catching colours and features. Although its available most of the year they move inshore and North for the Summer, and become easier to catch and readily available- and as a result great value.

They have been part of European gastronomy for a while- I read somewhere that the Romans loved mackerel and used to make a type of fish sauce from fermenting the mackerel called Garum,  sounds similar to Thai fish sauce.

These days you can buy them really fresh, they should be bright shiny and stiff- preferably eaten within a day or two of being caught as oily fish tends to spoil quicker than white fish.

Some Chefs do complex dishes with Mackerel, at home I prefer to take a simpler  approach, grilled , pan- fried or better still on the BBQ- they scream for a squeeze of lemon, sprinkle of sea salt and a knob of butter and a few new spuds. They are also pretty healthy, Omega -3 oils and Vitamin B12, so enjoy them while they are around.

Welcome to J Baker's

Our Bistro Moderne brings you a whole new dining experience. One which is ‘less exclusive and more inclusive’.

A contemporary modern bistro with a cosy, informal atmosphere in the centre of historic York.

The food is simple but bold, familiar yet new. Relax in the daytime as you casually pick and choose creations from our Grazing Menu. You set the tempo, long and lasting or fast and snappy.

In the evening, intimate or social, our fixed price à la carte menu has everything to offer. Every dish we serve brings you the very best produce from the greatest Yorkshire suppliers.

Our why not Graze By Night, en experience designed to enable the customer to experience a 7 course meal, with many different tastes and textures.  It means that the diner is not restricted to choosing 2 or 3 courses and can enjoy tasting a few more things off the menu which the chef will select and serve on the evening. 

We look forward to welcoming you to J Baker’s Bistro Moderne for a true taste of Yorkshire.
