Grilled Mackerel with Rhubarb

I love mackerel, a much underrated fish I think, I guess people still have this thing about bones,

And the thing I also love is the combination of oily mackerel and tart fruit, be it gooseberries, or as I'm going to show you here, Rhubarb,

There's something really satisfying about the sourness of the fruit that is just fantastic with the oiliness of the fresh mackerel, it may sound strange, but the flavour combination really works
