Recipe Comments
This method is also suitable for barbecues
wrapping the fish in greased paper helps preserve the flavour and prevents the skin from sticking
Nowadays most people fillet the mackerel by removing the roe before cooking although this does lessen the flavour
Mackeral can also be fried although this must be done with care to prevent damage to the flesh
