I wanted fish for lunch, because I heard a passing car blast 'The Salmon Dance' by The Chemical Brothers. Normally my fish is partnered with spinach but this time I wanted to step out my comfort zone.
This was the first time I cooked chard and was gutted that the the red stalk had to go! It is very pretty but I have seen recipes online where the stalk is used in soups and stews, something worth trying soon.
It looks like the sandwich has a cheeky grin! Well that's what I see...
Anyway, here are all my favourite fishy songs that you could listen to while cooking your favourite fish dish.

Ingredients:

Gails rosemary and potatoe bread (SO TASTY)
Pack of hot smoked Mackerel fillets with crushed peppercorns

Butter
Olive oil 1 tablespoon and extra for serving
Method:
: Wash one chard leaf

: Slice chunky piece of bread
: Butter bread

This sandwich worked out quite cheap because the chard and mackerel, can be used in other dishes in the next few days.
