Grilled Glazed Mackerel is a superb recipe that perfectly blends Mackerel with Asian flavours. The chili, soy sauce and dark sugar makes such a subtle marinade and sauce you will be amazed. It is a recipe that I use again and again. I normally serve these with simple steamed bok choy, green beans and new potatoes for a highly satisfying dish. I always allow two fillets per person with side dishes. Another popular Mackerel recipe is Fish in Foil. When you buy you fresh fish look for a bright eye and shiny skin is an indication of its freshness. A mackerel should be firm to the touch. When really fresh Mackerel won’t droop if held horizontally by the head.
