This Man's Cook Grilled Mackerel

A secret technique for grilling fish with a crispy exterior and moist interior, removing the transparent skin layer from the mackerel and using parchment paper to eliminate fishy odor and oil splatter

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When peeling off the transparent skin, rubbing coarse salt on your fingertips or gripping the skin with a kitchen towel helps prevent slipping and makes removal easier.
  • Do not soak the mackerel in rice washing water for more than 15 minutes, as this may wash out its natural delicious flavors.
  • The flour coating prevents juice loss and keeps the fish from falling apart, but avoid clumping—shake off excess thoroughly to prevent burning.
  • Always start grilling with the skin side down so the rich fish oil between the skin and flesh can seep into the entire fillet, enhancing the flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who have avoided grilled mackerel due to its strong fishy smell.
  • People concerned about lingering fishy odors and oil splatter after cooking.
  • Home cooks who want to achieve a restaurant-quality, clean, moist, and non-crumbly grilled fish dish.
