Pan-fried Mackerel
This is part 1 of 2 - Mackerel Series
1. Pan-fried.
I realized that mackerel tastes a lot like milkfish, but with a lot less bones. You can actually eat the bones! (Except the main one along the middle, of course)
This whole process takes about 10mins. Srsly.
PS; wash hands with stainless steel soap after handling!
