cooking mackeral

cooking mackeral - other than frying?

[Chappers]

Grilling with a knob of butter on the top, maybe some garlic, herbs etc...stuff the fish with lemon, butter and garlic, wrap it up in tinfoil and bake it, that's nice too. You can poach it in a frying pan full of water, or half water, half milk...it's best to keep fish cooking simple, you don't want to overpower the flavour of the fish with other stuff especially as mackarel is so flavoursome!

Here are a few suggestions:

Thank you Chappers and steveD, I eat a lot of fish but was getting bored with the traditional frying methods. Thanks.

I never fry fish - my personal favourite is grilled, or baked in tin foil with lemon, pepper or butter (or all of them!).  Poched fish is beautiful as well.

Ask the fisherman to gut the fish, top and tail it and then cut the mackerel into steaks (remember steaks not fillets). Make sure the fins have been taken off as well. He will raise his eyebrows but will do as he is told bless him. Get a bottle of Tesco Tikka Masala sauce. Heat it up in the pan and add the cleaned (remove all stomach gunk thoroughly) Mackerel steaks. Cook for a good 20 mins in low heat. After fully cooked add some fresh parsley/coriander and eat with american rice and feta cheese and olive salad. You will not fry it again.

salt the mackeral and place in dish pour in 2 cups of whiskey and three cups tequila then add 20 oz of boubon and vodka then throw away the mackeral and drink the sauce that way you can cope with trying to cook a crap fish ya f*ckwit
