Un poor fish salad (but so to speak) on a table full of sun and blue. The protagonist is a precious fabric, a true classic, which goes very well with the contemporaneity of the highly frayed linen napkins and hyper-geometric plates.

INGREDIENTS FOR 4:
2 very fresh small mackerel
800 g sardines and anchovies
2 courgettes
1 carrot
1 small yellow pepper
1 stick of celery
parsley, bay leaf and white pepper
black peppercorns, thyme
1 clove of garlic
1 spring onion
1 glass of rice vinegar
4 organic lemons (the juice and a little grated zest)
extra virgin olive oil and salt.

Procedure

Thoroughly clean the mackerel, sardines and anchovies which you will have previously chilled in the freezer for at least 48 hours, then remove the heads and spines. Divide the sardines and anchovies into fillets and the mackerel into pieces, then place them all, well spread out, on a large plate.
