Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The fish market in Saint-Paul de Vence consisted of a couple of tables where the local fishermen brought their catch, and the fact that there were hardly any fish to choose from was a salutary reminder of how our seas are being depleted of fish stocks. We settled for what looked like giant mackerel with a more tuna-like flesh but they were fresh out of the sea and perfect for a raw ceviche starter.
400-450g mackerel fillets, skinned and boned
1 red chilli, peeled and finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
The juice of 2 limes
1tbsp finely chopped coriander
For the dressing
3-4 green tomatoes, half, seeded and finely chopped
1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
1 medium green chilli, seeded and finely chopped
1tbsp chopped chives
1tbsp olive oil
With a sharp knife cut the mackerel into small cm dice then mix with the red chilli, lime juice and coriander and season to taste. Leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving. Meanwhile, mix all of the ingredients together for the dressing and season.
To serve, put the mackerel into a mould like a pastry cutter in the centre of the plate and spoon the dressing around.
