Irisha, I salt mackerel almost the same way. When processing the fish, I make sure to remove the black film in the abdomen - it gives off bitterness. I don’t use tea: cheap tea has a lot of dye, but expensive tea shares its aroma with the fish. I add mustard seeds to your spices. Each housewife tries the recipe and then adjusts it to her taste. We eat within a day. But in any case, the fish turns out to be lightly salted and simply delicious.

Is the fish marinated at room temperature or in the refrigerator?
