Warm Smoked Mackerel with Broad Beans and Tarragon

I'm cooking dinner for Her and I today, which shakes me from a little run of home cooking laziness to do something a little different, in this case Nigel Slater's Warm Smoked Mackerel with Broad Beans and Tarragon.
I curse myself when just starting to double pod the broad beans as I remember what a time consuming process it is! Nevermind though, as my first forkful of the finished dish remind me why it's worth it; I especially like how you can taste every component of the dish. The smoked fish and pancetta are the big flavours here, but there's also the freshness of the beans combined with the savoury base from the spring onions and a creamy finish. Stabs of subtle aniseed from the Tarragon compliment the creamy sauce.
