To make the mackerel tasty, I always choose it very carefully. First, the fish should be free of any yellow streaks. Secondly, the fish should not have any extra smell.
For salting, I suggest taking a glass jar with a suitable volume for this. You can salt the mackerel in a regular plastic bowl, but it's still more convenient for me to do it in a regular jar.
Ingredients:
Start by preparing the brine. To do this, pour half a liter of water into the bucket. Pour in salt and sugar, pour in vegetable oil. Place the peppercorns and bay leaves in the same place. Bring the water to a boil, stir to dissolve the loose components. Cool it down to room temperature.
Now peel the mackerel, remove the entrails, cut off the head and cut off the fins with scissors. Cut the fish into chunks immediately. So the fish will be salted much faster.
Peel the onion and cut it into half rings.
Now take the container in which you will salt the fish. Put some onion on the bottom, then the fish pieces. Repeat the steps.
Now just pour the brine into the jar. Leave the mackerel for 2-3 hours to pickle. If you have a lot of time, then you can cover the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for a day.
Enjoy your meal!

Mackerel is an ocean fish that is great for pickling. The salting technology is simple and technological, which allows every housewife to do this.

To avoid any delays in the salting process, it is necessary to prepare everything you need in advance.

To begin with, two mackerel carcasses are cut, with the removal of all excess parts and washed in water. After that, the brine is prepared from the tea infusion per 1 liter of water. The solution should cool down, after which 40 g of salt with sugar should be added to it and stirred. Soak the fish in the solution, and then put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or maybe more.

It is faster and easier to salt the fish using the dry salting method. All spices and seasonings are rubbed into the peeled carcass, after which it is placed in a plastic bag and must be refrigerated for several days. Before serving, it is taken out of the bag and cleaned of excess salt and spices. If you cut the mackerel into pieces, it will quickly absorb the flavor of the seasonings and quickly absorb the salt. And if all bones are removed from the fish, then this will be the best serve.
This technology is suitable for salting any fresh or frozen fish. To prevent frozen fish from losing its qualities, it should be properly defrosted. And it defrosts in cold water during the day. If the defrosting process is forced, the fish will lose its natural elasticity.

If you would like to taste home-made salted fish for dinner, then this is a completely feasible desire. And this is not a joke, it is really quite possible to cook such a wonderful appetizer like pickled mackerel in 2 hours.
In the store, as a rule, you can buy salted mackerel or herring, and if you like, then the only correct solution is to salt it yourself. Moreover, you can add your favorite spices to the brine, such as cloves, tarragon, rosemary, which will make the taste of mackerel more spicy and piquant. As for the degree of salting, you will adjust it yourself. Remember a simple rule: the longer the fish is in the marinade, the harder it will be salted, and vice versa.
This recipe is also interesting in that we put turnip onions in the mackerel pickling marinade and boil it for 5 minutes along with bay leaves and black peppercorns. Thus, we will enhance the aroma of spices, and the taste of salted fish will be brighter.
The most important thing in preparing such a delicious snack is, of course, to buy fresh frozen mackerel. Ideally, the fish should be in the brine for at least 10-12 hours, but if we want to shorten the salting time, then we need to understand that in this case we need to buy very high quality fish, best of all fresh, only caught from the sea. But this pleasure is available only for residents of coastal regions, where you can buy good fish in any market, like our seeds. If you do not have the opportunity to purchase fresh mackerel, then choose a good fresh frozen one in the store. But look at the date of freezing so that the fish is fresh. Pay attention to the condition of her carcass so that she is resilient, without damage. The gills of fresh mackerel should be bright red or pink in color, and have a mild marine scent. Next, we look at the fish in the eyes, if they are cloudy, then most likely the fish lay for a long time before it was frozen, and it definitely does not suit us.
All these precautions are necessary so that we can cook very much and enjoy its taste without harm to our health.
Ingredients:
- fresh frozen or fresh mackerel fish - 1 pc,
- turnip onions - 0.5 pcs,
- water - 400 ml,
- rock salt - 1.5 tbsp. l,
- bay leaves - 2 pcs,
- black peppercorns - 5 pcs.
First of all, we cut the mackerel. To do this, we rinse it and dry it with a paper towel. Now, very carefully, with a sharp fish knife, cut off the head of the mackerel, tail and cut the belly. We take out all the insides and rinse the carcass from the remnants of blood. Cut the fish into pieces about 1-1.5 cm thick.
Then we will take care of the marinade. Cut the peeled onions into several pieces and put them in boiling water. We also put salt, bay leaves and black peppercorns here. Cook the marinade for 10 minutes and let it cool completely.
Cover it with a lid and put it in the refrigerator for several hours (at least 2 hours).
Enjoy your meal!
