  Wasn't too impressed by this recipe. Not bad but certainly nothing special to me. Kinda plain sadly so doubt I'll cook it again!

  This was quick and easy to make. The harissa paste is very spicy so go easy if you don't like your food too spicy. The recipe says it serves 4 but I struggled to make 3 good servings with the couscous. Also, I think the couscous was a little soggy - maybe use less liquid or more couscous.

  i loved the couscous recipe - agree with Frantic Flapjack that the couscous is a little soggy and also that harissa paste is very spicy. I used 2 tsp instead of 2 tbsp and it was spicy enough.

  Absolutely loved it! Amazing flavours and the mackerel really stands up to the lime and spice. Only made 2 portions really but that was fine as we had 2 fillets each.

  Fantastic - the spicy couscous really complimented the mackerel. I reduced the amount of stock down to 400ml which worked perfectly for fluffy couscous.
