How To Fillet A Mackerel.And Cook It In Real Time.Mackerel.

I take one fresh Mackerel,Fillet it, then bone it comletely, showing the whole process..It is then Pan Fried to perfection,and served with a homemade,roasted, pickled ,beetroot salad,a winning combonation,elevating the humble mackerel to super star status.many thanks.

[@davidelkins9861]

i had some mackerel cooked by my mum some 50 years ago straight out of the sea in Cornwall grilled with a salad. it remains the most memorable fish meal ever

[@user-gf7ox6rl3x]

Finally someone who takes an awesome, fresh ingredient like Mackerel and cooks it without covering his own flavor with pointless seasoning. A hint of salt and in the pan. That's how it should be done all the time. Thanks.

[@TheScottReaproject]

many thanks.keeping is simple is the way forward.all the best. . scott

[@stephensmith4480]

Scott Rea Nice recipe mate,one of my favorite fish. I love mackerel fried the same way you did that,with large field mushrooms fried in butter on toast for breakfast. Keep it up scott.

It looks good but I would not put any salt or pepper on it . It doesn't need it . Same with beetroot salad , who wants that .

[@lmlmd2714]

Nice to see someone else in the UK giving mackeral the respect it's due. Beautiful to see them in the water, and the perfect food fish

[@Chris-rs6ic]

Just filleted my first mackerel, thanks to this video. That cooking method was spot on as well. Thank you, Scott.

[@neilcole4844]

The Mackerel is so underrated I dont know why that is, cos it is one of the best tasting fish out there! Thanks for the tip Scott.

[@TheMerlin672]

You're right Neil. When I boat fished, I used to cook a couple straight out of the sea for lunch. Fantastic fish...

[@MrJemal23]

No it isn't spanish people love Mackerel.

[@JohnOsCreations]

So true. Nicest fish in the sea in my opinion. With its natural flavour it needs nothing to make it taste great.

[@christopherspoors894]

Exactly, beautiful tasting fish

As a chef and working in Greenland with fresh fish every day ... i love to see a proff... work ... you are dooing things better than all these fancy cooks from tv... thanks again a saturday halloe from jylland Denmark

[@TheScottReaproject]

cheers Mac, , reallyappreciate your comment mate, im trying to create actual easy and tasty simple dishes.which is sometimes what the tv chefs dont do, they all assume people allready have a certain amount of culinary knowledge but they forget most people don't although like myself we buy the cookbooks but don't necessarily cook from them, cause they can be to hard to follow , so hopefully with my channel im demystify cooking and making dishes that are simple and achievable. all the best from the UK. many thanks.

I have fished 40yers and caught a a load of mackerel I can fillet them but never been able to cook them thanks for the tips well done

[@Greatmusic4theworld1]

Through experience I will say that this by far is an awesome way to clean mackerel. Two thumbs up!

[@mikewood866]

Went out in my boat the same day I watched your video and caught half a dozen lovely mackerel. I cooked them exactly the same way and they were beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration. Mike (Plymouth)

We filleted and cooked our first mackerels following your instructions. What a delicious treat! Thank you so much!

[@Khamomil]

I'm pleased to have learned a simple way of cooking mackerel and the little refrain in the end was very cute.

[@adamgreen5812]

Best, simplest mackerel dish EVER! Plus fabulous un-fussy filleting instructions. I've always been one of those people trying to like mackerel, but always struggled to enjoy it, whether I or someone else cooked it. I've made this twice now, and now I agree that mackerel is delicious. Plus, that stonking pickled beetroot salad (I've been unable to get good damson jam so used blackcurrant instead - works beautifully). Thank you for changing my fish eating habits for ever...

[@LiloUkulele]

Absolutely spot on! Fresh local mackerel, cheap, environmental great choice, small fish not poisoned with heavy metals. Great filleting lesson!!!! rock on...and the salad bonus :-)

[@franklee5723]

This worked well for me - pretty simple, quick, and easy. Removing the backbones, as Rea calls them, also obviously removes the dark flesh, which I think is important Just had it for breakfast with scrambled eggs and picante salsa - caught the mackerel last evening.

[@chrislysyk1120]

Thanks for putting this together. Caught my first mackerel this evening, wasn't sure how to prepare it. You made it look easy and delicious.

[@thom954]

Good to watch a video of someone who knows what they are doing teach us in a video - top class

[@pudpalmer]

Thank you so much, growing up beside the sea side I was accustomed to mackerel but my mum had prepared it, I followed your video and had the most delicious fillets just as I remember.

[@windshear33]

Made this for lunch, really enjoyed it. As you say stunning beetroot salad.

Nice and simple!! Thumbs up!

Mackerel! the best fish in the seas, better than salmon bass, very tasty. I should know I have been eating them for 82 years. I should say I have caught them and cooked them on the boat. now that's fresh.

Thanks for showing how to fillet mackerel. First time I have felt like I fileted a fish in the right manner. The filets were really nice. Tasted great.

50 years ago I gave an elderly lady 12 fresh mackerel I had caught.Next day she gave me 6 back,WOW.She had stuffed them with home made stuffing and hand stitched them up,very labour intensive.Cooked them in foil for 3 hours.Well you could heat everything apart from the head.Best fish I have ever eaten.The fish were Manx mackerel

This is exactly how I fillet my fish, great vid, well done.

[@michaelogden5958]

Several (many?) years ago in Florida USA. I chartered an offshore trip. The fishing was not superb, but among other more "prized" fish, I caught a couple of mackerel a bit larger than this. The captain and deckhands weren't too keen on keeping "just mackerel", but it was "my" charter, so we did. There was an associated cafe/restaurant with the charter with a "you catch it, we cook it" theme. I took the fresh mackerel into there. I asked the guys there to do whatever they thought would be best. Their skillet preparation was much like yours. A beetroot side wasn't presented, but I will always remember the crispy skin and the luxurious taste of those mackerel - over and above the so-called "prized" fish caught that day. Cheers!

[@timandrews2023]

Can’t wait to try this method it looks delicious!

[@terryneale3086]

I’ve invested in a smoker. Breakfast of kings. Smoked Mackerel, poached egg, home made sourdough. I used to farm in Dorset. The local shoots could never use all the game. I volunteered as a beater. Came home with pheasant, duck, snipe, pigeon, even geese. . Great deal if you beat, exercise and free game. Best was in deer season. Muntjacs were great eating.

[@DaleHodgkins0n]

I only really got into cooking due to delivering meat to top hotels/restaurants in London. Meat for free and i'd pester the chefs till they'd tell me how to cook it properly. Great to find your own way and style and learn great hints and tips from guys like you Scott...even i've progressed from Egg&Chips! ;) ...Michelin Star Egg &Chips you understand..... Lol. Always great to learn new stuff. Cheers Scott.

[@wrightackle1]

You don't have to worry about scales. They are so tiny when you crisp the skin up like he did you will never notice them. I live in florida so the mackeral we eat are Spanish. The skin is really phenominal when crispy.
