How to Make Horse Mackerel Recipe?

  • Wash the horse mackerel after opening its belly and cleaning its insides, in plenty of water. Mix it with the salt you sprinkled little by little, even reaching the inner parts.
  • Leave it aside in a large strainer to drain excess water.
  • Place the finely ground corn flour on a large plate. Coat the front and back surfaces of the horse mackerel with cornmeal. Be careful not to get too much inside.
  • Heat the sunflower oil in a wide-based, not shallow fish pan.
  • Start frying the fish, which have absorbed the salt and released excess water, by placing them side by side with their tails in the middle of the pan.
  • Place the fish, fried on both sides, on a serving plate lined with paper towels, let it rest for a short time, and then serve hot.
