Sovay from Northern England,
This is from the Wedding Feast in Macedon chapter; the mackerel is seasoned with salt and asafoetida and topped with crumbled goat cheese flavoured with oregano. The recipe calls for a whole mackerel per person but all the mackerel at the market today were enormous, so I used a fillet. I also chickened out in the asafoetida department and reduced the quantity to half or maybe a bit less, which turned out to be the right decision - it was perceptible but not overpowering, which it would have been in the original amount. The result was excellent though it definitely needs a quite light, sharp goat cheese.
