Gut and fillet them. Put some tinfoil on the grill and cook. then use some vinegar to taste. Thats the best way to eat mackrel. my favorite fish.

edit: they are an oily fish so there's no need to fry them imho

Im liking the simplicity of that, ted. It's a go'er.

With some new potatoes i think......

Rapeh

Mackerel and bay - the way forward.

Dont prick about with mackerel - nothing fancy- nice and simple is the best.

I was wathcking a Julia child show on fish I downloaded last week. She had a coolway of presenting it. She would fillet down either side of the backbone from the back (ie not the belly side) she would then remove the backbone leaving the head on. She then removed the guts and gills. You are then left with a filleted mackerel head attached open on one sude only. She then caught its tail and pushed it out the mouth not of the fish so it looked looked some kind of gargoyle

wise words. mormon nailer knows his cookery.

I don't really eat fish, but mackerel is nice friend with bread crumbs. yum.

Ah, feck...! It's new potato* season.

I hate new potatoes** (except in some minor circumstances).

mackerel is such a tasty fish.

rub some cracked pepper and chunky sea salt into them then add a generous heap of juice of a lemon all over them. rub it all in and let it all absorb, then bung them under the grill and once they're done, thank the powers that be for mackerel.

Some people steam mackarel - don't think it suits it.

Grilling is best.

had a lovely smoked mackerel in Crosshaven on Saturday in Cronins, best smoked Mackerel ever.

try some chopped galic flat leaf parsely and paprika sprinkled over the fish and grill, very tasty

or try baking in tin foil with sliced orange and some of its juice. possibly add some corriander with it that could be a good combo too.

Thanks all.

I grilled those bad boys last night. Messy work chopping heads off and getting bones out.

Had them with steamed green beans & carrotts and some not so tasty spuds. Altho the garlic butter did make the spuds alot tastier.

Same again tonight but with some baby potatoes and more veg. Those Roosters were shite.

[Ex-User (5762)]

unadulterated gutting, adding knob of butter and some basil and/or oregano and under the grill... heaven.

straight bbq-ing is also amazing. god made mackerel.

Yes, a norwegian friend of mine brought some back to Ireland after a trip home (I thought it was Gravlax tho??)

Anyhoo, it was alright, didn't really like the texture though of it on its own. We ate it on very dense homemade brown bread. Lovely taste of dill on it. Defo try it, especially if you like smoked salmon.

Gravad Lax is with salmon but Gravad Max is the same cure but done on mackerel.

Ahh yes I obviously wasn't paying attention when that was explained to me before. Twas the mackerel we had.

Probably not going to be as nice tonight. Best to eat mackerel on the day the were caught, they go downhill very fast.

Bay with mackerel Mormon? I normally just grill it and have it with chips and roasted veg - where does the bay come in?
