Ingredients
To make Zingy Whole Mackarel, you'll need:
  • 4 whole mackerel, gutted and cleaned 
  • 4 tsp. garlic, finely chopped 
  • 4 tsp. ginger, finely chopped 
  • 1 large red chilli, deseeded and chopped 
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced 
  • 2 tbsp. sesame oil 
  • 1 tsp. Thai fish sauce 

Method

  • Wash the mackerel and score both sides of each mackerel five or six times, avoiding hitting the bone. In a bowl, combine the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, chilli, lime zest and juice and the Thai fish sauce. Coat each mackerel with the marinade. 
  • Barbecue the mackerel for around five minutes on each side until the fish is charred and the eyes have turned white. 
  • Place all of the fish in a large dish and cover with any leftover marinade and seasoning to taste, leave to stand for about 3 minutes before serving with a side of salad.
