And now a few tips on how to bake delicious mackerel in the oven:
An important secret of cooking mackerel is that it should not be cooked completely thawed, but slightly frozen. This makes it easier to cut and the fish tastes especially good.
The fish should be wiped off with a paper towel, it should never be washed, because the fish becomes limp from the water.
Mackerel should be opened from the back, like many predatory fish (for example, pike perch and salmonids), since the deposition of fat in them occurs mainly in the abdominal cavity. In fish ripped from the anus to the throat, the fat during heat treatment begins to actively melt through the incision.
Do not cook mackerel for future use (except for freezing with a roll), fry or salt as much as you can eat today, since the next day you will feel a slight rancid taste in baked, fried or salted mackerel.
