A flavorful stew with tomatoes and cabbage. Very versatile. Serve with boiled yams, plantains, potatoes, rice, or any other starch on the side. Sardines in tomato sauce can stand in for the mackerel.
Simple and quick to make. Very tasty and healthy too. When I have more time I plan to make it with all fresh ingredients. Thanks for a delicious meal.

This recipe is very good to me but my brother hated it. I think if you love paella you will like this. I would love to try this with mixed seafood.
This was a very quick dish to make. I used frozen stir fry peppers/onions, cabbage and a bag of frozen collard greens. I used crushed tomatoes, liquid smoke, minced garlic and several Mrs. Dash blends to taste (Steak Grill, Garlic, Table blend) and Old Bay seasoning. The mackerel I used was plain and not tomato. I make another similar dish with kale or collard greens and tilapia fish. I like to serve with gumbo vegetables and tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and hot sauce. GREAT! I hadn't had mackerel in decades and it's better than sardines, but not as good as red salmon to me. My husband liked it better than I did. The canned fish definitely takes away from the dish. I would make it again because it's FAST and my husband really liked it. :)
Great! I subbed canned tuna for the mackerel and added some African hot sauce for some extra flavor. Thanks for sharing.
Made it just as instructed and it's quite tasty and a fine way to prepare mackerel. Next time, perhaps I'll jazz it up bit with some sliced olives and a hotter sauce. Served it over brown rice and had myself a good lunch.
I wasn't expecting that much, but this was great. We served it with home-made foo foo, a perfect complement. We also added chopped shelled pumpkin seeds. I would make it the same next time, but might remove the backbone of the canned mackerel. We were all thrilled with this.
This is a warm your belly meal! A great way to use canned Mackerel. It is also an inexpensive healthy dish. One note for those like me who need to learn things the hard way: Drain the mackerel before adding it to the tomato sauce pan. If you don’t, the taste of fish is strong. Also, this full head of cabbage meal makes a full pot of soup. Next time I may try half the cabbage because my family is small. I also added cracked black pepper, a chopped carrot and a chopped celery stalk.
