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

[@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

[@flyingmedic]

Super video. I really like mackerel but hitherto I have asked the fishmonger to filet for me. I now intend to use my boat to get out and catch fresh . Great lesson.

[@白海塔]

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 .

[@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

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)

You have fish boat but cant fry fish?

[@McLabskovs]

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. Scott

[@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...

[@MrONHcP9]

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

[@dpfisherman]

Interesting video very helpful 👌🏻🎣

[@Greatmusic4theworld1]

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

[@ranjitrakhra3833]

Outstanding Video.... Great advice and well worth watching ;-)

[@windshear33]

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

[@garyskinner2422]

How was they bernie nice?

[@bwghall1]

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.

[@ozakarisozacra6499]

Nice, simple, honest....wonderful all together...thumbs up..!!

[@tezzawesty2010]

fantastic vid,, seen loads of atempts to de bone, but this is the best way, got 2 to try tommorow morning,while watching your vid lol thanx

my inspiration to buy whole fish! big thank you as your videos make it all look so simple , i have a big mackerel in my fridge cant wait for tonight will cook it like yours!

[@fakhrybotros6588]

Scott, you always nail it.

[@jjiacobucci]

Enjoyed the recipe for the beetroot. Cheers !

[@plowize]

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

[@UKPete]

That's made me hungry, nicely cooked just the way i like it and the crispy skin also!

[@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.

[@michaelcollins965]

Easy to follow instructions, tastes excellent, thank you, it is very much appreciated..

[@stighw]

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.

My god. Why do I watch this late at night when I'm hungry. I can't wait to try this next year. No more wasting mackerel as striper bait for me.

You made that look so easy lol. TYVM for the vid. ATB Reeco

[@DJChipsandGarlic]

ive just bought some fresh today . really cheap indeed. i always buy the canned stuff after eating sardines or pilchards for years and i love it due to the fact its already been de skinned and de boned. the tesco ones in extra virgin olive oil on toast, love them! cant wait to try the fresh ones. cheers for the video

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

[@jdlc903]

What did she stuff it with?

[@chrisedwards8306]

Got my boat and fishing gear all prepared for the weekend. I love Mackarel but going to try this idea before the weekend is out. Thanks for posting this informative video.

[@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!

[@BAguy]

Excellent advice on cleaning and cooking mackarel. I can’t wait to see the beet salad recipe

[@nickgrocott700]

By far my favourite fish great with a chilli tomato dressing on toast

We've got tons of picked beetroot so I can't wait to get some mackerel and prepare it like you showed. Amazing video and tutorial :)

[@JohnOsCreations]

Thanks. Great video. I usually just gut and cook them whole and lift bone out when cooked. Far less fish wasted. But for the one I caught this morning Im going to experiment with your method and use bones for a stock. Thanks.
