How to grill mackerel? Prepare the products. If you use frozen mackerel, then defrost it first. Pull the fish out of the freezer and leave at room temperature until fully thawed. Peel the defrosted mackerel from the insides, remove the fins, cut off the head and tail. Be sure to remove the black film from the abdomen, it is very bitter.

Rinse the purified fish well in running water inside and outside and dry thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess water from it.

Remove the ridge from the mackerel and cut it lengthwise into two halves.

Prepare the marinade. How to make a marinade? To make it, take a separate bowl and pour soy sauce and vegetable oil into it. Squeeze some juice from the lemon into the marinade.

Then add some salt and fish spices to taste. As a spice, I use ready-made fish kits. When adding salt, consider the fact that the soy sauce itself is salty enough. Don't salt it up. Mix all the contents of the bowl.

Dip mackerel in the marinade to cover it evenly on all sides. Leave the fish in the bowl for one hour so that it is a little minced.

Preheat the electric grill to cook the fish. Brush it thoroughly with vegetable oil. This is convenient to do with a brush. Remove the fish from the marinade and wet a little with a paper towel. This is necessary in order to remove the excess marinade. When putting fish on the grill, hot splashes can fly. Put the fish on the grill with the skin up and cover with a lid. Cook the fish for 5-7 minutes.

Mackerel cooks very quickly. All excess fat with it will drain into a special tray under the grill.

Transfer the finished fish to a plate and serve. You can supplement the fish with fresh boiled potatoes and fresh vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
