An important secret to cooking mackerel - it should be cooked not completely thawed, but slightly frozen. So it is easier to cut, and the fish acquires a particularly pleasant taste.

The fish should be wiped with a paper towel, it should never be washed, because from the water, the fish turns sour.

Mackerel should be opened from the back, as well as many predatory fish (for example, pikeperch and salmon), since the deposition of fat occurs mainly in the abdominal cavity. In fish, torn from the anus to the throat, fat during heat treatment begins to actively accumulate through the incision.

Do not cook mackerel for the future (except for freezing with roll), fry or salt as much as you can eat today, since the next day you will have a slight aftertaste of rancidity in baked, fried or salted mackerel.

- the dish is simple, tasty and very healthy. Of course, the benefits of sea fish in its freshness, but it so happened that buying a mackerel for fresh baking is either expensive or difficult. Mackerel is a rather fatty type of fish. The amount of fat in the carcass in the summer-autumn period reaches 20% of its total weight and is the cause of oxidation and rancidity of fish meat. To avoid this, mackerel is frozen or processed immediately after harvest. That is why in cities remote from seaports, mackerel is sold in smoked, pickled or frozen form. You can also find chilled mackerel on the shelves of expensive supermarkets, however, prices for fresh fish are much higher than for frozen. But it can also be most useful if properly frozen and cooked in a gentle way. The best way to preserve the benefits of frozen mackerel is to bake it in the oven.

Before baking, mackerel is often pickled using soy sauce, citrus juice or olive oil.

1.   When buying fresh-frozen mackerel, it is better to opt for fish with a head.

2. Proper defrosting of the fish is a guarantee of its benefits and juiciness. In the first stage, the mackerel is thawed for several hours in the upper section of the refrigerator, in the second stage, the defrosting process is completed at room temperature.

3.   Mackerel has a specific smell. Marinades based on lemon and aromatic spices will help get rid of it.

4.   The carcasses should be washed very carefully after removal of the viscera and be sure to remove the black film from the abdomen, which can spoil the taste of the finished dish with bitterness.

5.   Baked mackerel with a head looks more “solemn” and can decorate a festive table.

6.   It is better not to bake the fish on the “bare” foil - the skin can firmly stick to its surface and the appearance of the mackerel will be damaged. It is better to put the carcass on a thin layer of vegetables.

7.   Mackerel is a rather fatty type of fish, so do not be zealous with fatty sauces and mayonnaise. There should also be little vegetable oil.

8.   When baking mackerel, it is better to monitor the temperature of the oven. But if the oven is not equipped with a thermometer, you can determine the degrees using a white paper leaf:

• for half a minute in the oven, the leaf turned slightly yellow - the temperature does not exceed 100 ° C;
• bright yellow color - from 170 to 190 ° C;
• caramel color - up to 210 ° С;
• the leaf that started to burn is from 220 to 250 ° C.

Mackerel is an extremely healthy, tasty, easy to process sea fish, somewhat underestimated by Russian culinary specialists. Perhaps this is due to the fact that it is almost impossible to buy fresh mackerel. The fact is that mackerel is quite oily, in summer and autumn the fat content can reach up to 20% of the weight of the fish, and this is a lot. And this fat quickly oxidizes and gains a rancid taste. To prevent this, mackerel is frozen directly on fishing vessels or processed immediately after delivery to shore.

Therefore, in remote parts of the country from the coast, you can buy smoked mackerel - both hot and cold smoked - or frozen. There are many recipes with mackerel, and you can use properly thawed fish in any of them.

It is very convenient to cook mackerel baked in the oven in foil, for example, on a pillow of onions. To muffle its fat content, combine it with acidic foods: tomatoes, lemon, rhubarb, white wine. Baked mackerel sprinkled with wine vinegar or lemon juice is perfect as a cold appetizer.

Thanks to such a huge amount of useful substances, eating mackerel helps:

• increase the body's defenses;
• reduce the risk of cancer;
• vision improvement;
• reduction of headache, pain with arthritis and arthrosis;
• preventing the formation of cholesterol plaques;
• saturation of the blood circulation of the heart and brain;
• memory improvement;
• weakening psoriasis;
• regulation of metabolism and hormone levels;
• carcinogen reduction;

Useful mackerel:

• expectant mothers and lactating women - to nourish the fetus and maintain lactation;

• adolescents - for the normal formation of internal organs;

• small children - for the uniform development of the brain and the body in general.
