    i had some mackerel cooked by my mum some 50 years ago straight out of the sea in Cornwall grilled with a salad. it remains the most memorable fish meal ever

    Finally someone who takes an awesome, fresh ingredient like Mackerel and cooks it without covering his own flavor with pointless seasoning. A hint of salt and in the pan. That's how it should be done all the time. Thanks.

      Scott Rea Nice recipe mate,one of my favorite fish. I love mackerel fried the same way you did that,with large field mushrooms fried in butter on toast for breakfast. Keep it up scott.

      It looks good but I would not put any salt or pepper on it . It doesn't need it . Same with beetroot salad , who wants that .

    Best, simplest mackerel dish EVER! Plus fabulous un-fussy filleting instructions. I've always been one of those people trying to like mackerel, but always struggled to enjoy it, whether I or someone else cooked it. I've made this twice now, and now I agree that mackerel is delicious. Plus, that stonking pickled beetroot salad (I've been unable to get good damson jam so used blackcurrant instead - works beautifully). Thank you for changing my fish eating habits for ever...

      cheers Mac, , reallyappreciate your comment mate, im trying to create actual easy and tasty simple dishes.which is sometimes what the tv chefs dont do, they all assume people allready have a certain amount of culinary knowledge but they forget most people don't although like myself we buy the cookbooks but don't necessarily cook from them, cause they can be to hard to follow , so hopefully with my channel im demystify cooking and making dishes that are simple and achievable. all the best from the UK. many thanks.

      You don't have to worry about scales. They are so tiny when you crisp the skin up like he did you will never notice them. I live in florida so the mackeral we eat are Spanish. The skin is really phenominal when crispy.
