Ingredients for cooking mackerel on the grill:

How to cook mackerel on the grill, recipe with photo:
1. The first rule of cooking delicious mackerel over a fire is to properly defrost the fish and remove the entrails.
Thaw the fish in the refrigerator halfway and remove for cleaning. Mackerel does not have husks, so we rip open the belly. We do not remove the head, but make an incision up to half the head. If there is caviar or milk in the carcass, leave it in the abdominal cavity. Be sure to remove the remaining entrails and gills. Rinse the cleaned mackerel under running water. We do this step with each fish. 
2. Place the spices in a bowl. The second rule for preparing delicious mackerel baked on the grill is the right choice of spices. Pay attention to the composition of spices. We have already written about this in the fillet. It should not contain salt. Glutamate is often added with salt. Therefore, if you are concerned about your health, then it is better to choose a collection of dried herbs specifically for fish, and preferably with the addition of sesame. You can add any oil, it will help enhance the aroma of spices to the fish.
Combine the oil with spices, as in the oven. 
3. Add salt and stir. You will get a thick paste. 
4. Rub the mackerel with the resulting spice mixture inside and out.
We connect all three fish together and wrap them in cling film. You can place them in a durable bag instead of film. Place the marinated fish in the refrigerator overnight. 
4. And already, being in nature, we fry the mackerel on the grill over hot coals. To do this, use a grid. It is better not to put fish on a skewer. The meat is too soft and may fall into the grill. 
5. When the fish is ready and gives off an incredible aroma, pour lemon juice over it and hold it on the coals for a few more minutes. 
Cooking time for mackerel will depend on the heat and the position of the fish above it. In this case, the carcass was located at a height of 20 centimeters over hot coals and was cooked in 15 minutes. 
Prepared mackerel on the grill according to this recipe turns out tastier than smoked! Just try to prepare such a treat, and you will look forward to your next trip to nature!
It's spring outside, beauty, the weather calls for nature... let's not deny it. π It's time for the whole family or a fun group to get together for a picnic. And in the fresh air everyone develops a healthy appetite. Therefore, when going outdoors, take care of what to feed everyone.
The picnic menu usually includes barbecue. For example, I prefer chicken, and the most delicious and juicy chicken kebab comes from thighs. Last week I wrote about...
Itβs also very tasty to bake vegetables and mushrooms outside. I also already wrote about how to make mushroom delicacy on the grill. But I have another picnic theme in stock - mackerel baked on a grill over coals. Believe me, this is something special!
Mackerel itself does not have small bones, and this is a strong argument for baking it in nature. It is also juicy, nutritious, full of vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids in its natural form. And with the smoke itβs simply breathtaking!
You can marinate it in advance, you can stuff it with herbs and lemon, or rub it with seasonings... you can... In general, write it down!
In this recipe I bring to your attention the most delicious marinade for this fish for cooking on the grill. There is no need to marinate the fish the night before; just leave it in the spices for 1 hour. You can pour the marinade over the mackerel just before going out into nature, or you can do it right on the spot while the coals are being prepared.
You can squeeze a little lemon juice onto the finished fish.
- Mackerel β 4 pcs.
- Olive oil β 4 tbsp. spoons
- Oregano, cumin, rosemary, thyme - 1 teaspoon each
- Ground black pepper β 1 teaspoon
- Salt β 1.5 teaspoons
1. We do not defrost freshly frozen fish completely, so that it is convenient to remove the insides. Cut off the head, tail, fins.
2. Use a napkin to clean the inner black film in the belly, otherwise the fish will taste bitter.
3. Mix the prepared spices and salt. We rub the inside of each carcass with spices.
4. To ensure that the spices stick well to the outside of the fish, you need to rub it with vegetable oil.
5. Now you can sprinkle the carcasses with spices on top, knowing that they will not drain from it and, moreover, thanks to the oil, the seasonings will better reveal their aroma.
6. Leave the fish to marinate for 1 hour.
7. Pre-lubricate the grill grate with vegetable oil so that the mackerel skin does not stick to it.
8. Fat will drip from the fish onto the coals and this will cause the fire to ignite. We'll need water to put it out.
9. Fry, turning over every 3 minutes. We make sure that the heat is not strong, because... The fish should not be burned, but fried inside. We bake the mackerel for about 20 minutes.
Bon appetit!

Bake fish on the grill, marinated with lemon and onion
Do you know that mackerel cooked on coals tastes better than meat? It is softer, juicier and more appetizing. But the most important thing is that it is unusual and original, because in 90% of picnics, meat is fried on the grill.
You can cook any other fish, but it is mackerel that turns out delicious due to its fat content and the absence of small bones. And it is also available in any supermarket at an affordable price.
This is a very healthy variety of fish! It is usually salted, baked in the oven or smoked. I donβt like salted fish, because itβs essentially raw, and I donβt eat smoked fish, because itβs not healthy :) Fish cooked on coals turns out tastier than in the oven due to the appetizing smoky smell. So don't miss the opportunity to cook healthy food outdoors in an amazingly delicious way.

I'll tell you how to cook mackerel on the grill. In the distant times of our childhood, when abundance was a punishable luxury, the fish menu of a Soviet person, as a rule, consisted of salted anchovy, ivasi herring, hake and smoked mackerel. Sometimes in the fall fish carriers with carp appeared. Well, and some more little things.
To the question: βWhat kind of fish do you fry?β - surprised look. Heck, of course.
Fresh mackerel was something perhaps exotic. As, indeed, now. Ice cream - at least there are heaps. And it costs less than local carp.
As an adult, I learned that mackerel and mackerel are the same thing.
We weren't taught this at school. However, recipes for mackerel fried in batter are familiar to us from childhood.
Dry the fish with a napkin and cut it in half along the spine
Coat the fillet on both sides with a small amount of vegetable oil. And immediately to the bars
It is better to start frying from the skin side
