Cooking tips

Starting the Spanish mackerel in a cold or cool pan prevents the skin from suddenly shrinking or burning on the surface.
Instead of flipping and cooking the flesh side intensely, use the arrosage technique—continuously basting with oil using a spoon—to keep moisture and juices from escaping.
The Spanish mackerel oil left in the pan after cooking is full of flavor, so drizzling a little over the finished fish enhances the taste.
