Re: Slimy mackerel
What are your plans for them DougieK?
Btw slimy for me are great eating cooked a certain way. A lot of people hate it because it's so fishy but a few of the right balancing ingredients and you end up with a soft yet creamyish flesh

Re: Slimy mackerel
I like to cook them with an asian influence. The important ingredients are soy sauce, lime, ginger and garlic to balance that oily, strong flavour. You can add capsicum, honey if you want to turn it to a bit of a sweeter broth, some spring onions.Lightningx wrote:How do you cook them mate? I have been smoking lots of different kinds of fish...
