Either is good they are very easy to cook. Try baking them in the oven as well, wrap them in baking parchment or greaseproof paper and bake in the oven.

can use other marinades as well, such as basalmic and a splash of syrup, some chopped chillis thrown in as well.

Mackerel?, gently poach it then give it to a cat ;-/.

Bit late, my mouth is watering.

Hot fry in butter with a drip of oil to prevent burning.

All other methods mentioned previously are good as well.

Sea fishing was my main hobby for nearly 50 years and in all that time I found that the only thing mackerel was good for was bait.

Egg wash, coat in oatmeal, fry - Scottish way!

Mackerel pate is great if you have a lot to use up

Best of all, cook over open fire on the beach.



Enjoy!
