Hi
I have a few recipes I use for cooking mackerel which are a little different from frying.
FISH PIE WITH CRUNCHY POTATO TOPPING
30 grams butter
1/6 cup plain flour
1 cup milk
125 grams cream cheese chopped
600 grams mackerel fillets
200 grams finelychopped vegetables (1 onion, carrot,
zucchini, peas)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
salt and pepper to taste
600grams potatoes, cooked and mashed with milk and butter
flaked almonds
Melt butter, mix in the flour. Gradually add milk and cheese. Whisk over moderate heat until smooth and thick. Add oyster sauce and salt and pepper
Add seafood and vegetables. Stir over a low heat for 3 minutes.
Spoon into shallow baking dish. Top with potato and some flaked almonds. Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden.
Note: May have to add a bit more fish or oyster sauce to taste.
I put grated cheese on top of potato instead of almonds
or a slightly different taste. Check taste as can be a little bland if not enough seasonings are added.
MACKEREL IN CURRY SAUCE
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 teasp curry powder
1 teasp salt
pinch pepper
oil for frying
2 mackerel fillets (full sides)
Curry Sauce
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablesp oil
1/2 teasp curry powder
1 cup sour cream
1 tablesp + parsley chopped
2 teasp white wine
Mix flour, curry powder, salt and pepper. Cut mackerel into fingers. Roll in flour mixture and shallow fry in oil until brown on both sides and cooked through.
Curry Sauce
Fry onion in oil until soft. Add curry powder, salt and sour cream and gently heat, stirring occasionally. Add parsley and wine. Pour over fish and serve immediately.
SAVOURY BAKED MACKEREL

2 tablesp margarine
