Farmers markets are a great symbol of social regeneration. By shopping and discovering new produce and producers, we can play our role in supporting the local economy while keeping old traditions alive. Very often these markets are colourful and represent a selection of foods and drinks only local to the area, thus becoming a pop up tourist attraction. The recipe below, is a quick snack, and can easily be enjoyed as a sandwich filling, where the smokey oiliness of the mackerel (a sustainable fish),is matched with the spiciness of the horseradish and the sweetness of the red onion marmalade.
