WHOLE BAKED MACKERELS
Whole baked Mackerel is the easiest, most delicious way to cook this fish.
 
Rich source of Omega 3 Mackerel is a marvel. I know... I know, some people can't bear the smell when it is cooked and the taste is quite strong but if you consume it very fresh and cook it slowly, wrapped in the oven, it is amazing.
