Midsummer is the summer solstice celebrating the longest day of the year.

It is one of the most celebrated holidays in Sweden.

Midsummer is normally an occasion of family gatherings or groups of friends to celebrate this traditional high-point of the summer, usually celebrated with flowers, dancing and food.

Something that can be celebrated with Smörgåsbord, a buffet style meal of Swedish origin, offering a variety of hot and cold meats and salads for guests to choose from and enjoy together.

No matter where you are from in the world, the gathering of family and friends is something we all love to enjoy, even more during the summer when the weather picks up and the sun is shining.

Your orders can be with you anywhere across the globe in just 48 hours and 24 hours if you’re nearer for the whole family to enjoy this summer.

A nutritious meal to enjoy in the summer sunshine in Ireland this week is our Mackerel with Warm Potato & Chorizo Salad.

We owe this recipe to Martin Shanahan's, chef and owner of the Fishy Fishy Restaurant in Kinsale.

The mackerel can also be grilled on a barbecue, with the rest of the recipe prepared inside or maybe even on the grill for the more adventurous chefs out there.

This recipe could also be enjoyed with our Burren Smoked Irish Organic Salmon as a substitute for mackerel.

The choices are endless when it comes to our salmon and it's the perfect addition to your meals this summer ☀️
