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!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Have your fish monger butterfly-cut your mackerel. Cut off the head and tail, then cut into 2. See part 2 of 2 for another mackerel recipe :)

Rinse, pat dry, and spread a splash of mirin or sake to remove the fishy smell. Pat dry again. If you can soak the fish in mirin for 10mins, that would be ideal, but not necessary.
- 3
Gently score the skin in a criss cross pattern. This will prevent curling. Add salt & pepper to both sides.
- 4
Combine the flour and curry powder on a plate. Coat fish and shake off any excess flour. I used this korean curry powder:

Light up your pan on a med-high flame until oil is hot. Place fish skin side down. Cook for 2-3 mins until crust is formed. Switch heat to med-low until fish is fully cooked through. Roughly 8 mins, give or take.

Easy Fried Mackerel! With Great Breading! Easy Fried Mackerel! With Great Breading!
Using a whole egg when you're frying just one thing seems like a bit of waste. So I reduced the amount of oil and shallow fried it lol. I also wanted to make a budget friendly dish that was also low in calories. Once done frying, it still clings quite well to the fish. This isn't problematic in the least, and it leaves the fish crispy and delicious.This is easy! Anyone can do this!The amounts listed for the ingredients are a guideline so be sure that when you are mixing the flour and water that you make it thick. Don't let it be thin. This is the trick to this recipe! Recipe by Kinapikomochi cookpad.japan
