Marinade for mackerel

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make marinade for mackerel? Prepare the necessary products. If the fish is frozen, it must first be thawed. It is better to do this gradually, in the refrigerator, so that it does not fall apart when cutting. Clean and gut the mackerel carcass, carefully removing all the insides and black film. Take filtered or bottled water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour water into a saucepan, add salt, sugar, bay leaf and pepper. Place the pan on the fire and bring the water to a boil. Boil for a couple of minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool completely.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the brine is cooling, work on the fish. I cut it lengthwise along the spine and removed the core, then cut it into small pieces. Place the fish pieces in a jar.

4. STEP 4

   

   When the brine has completely cooled, add vinegar to it. Marinade for mackerel at home is ready.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the marinade over the mackerel, close the jar with a lid and leave for 24 hours for salting and marinating. Serve, garnished with onions and herbs. Bon appetit!

For salting fish, a mackerel marinade recipe came in handy. On the author’s advice, I replaced table vinegar with homemade apple cider vinegar, and also added chopped onions to the jar with pieces of mackerel. The recipe is great!!! The proportions of salt, sugar and vinegar are chosen perfectly. The fish is delicious and tender. The onions in this marinade are also very good. Extraordinary yummy! I'm happy to add this recipe to my stash! Thank you very much, katushafin!
