Salt Mackerel

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. Rinse the salt mackerel under cold water.

  2. Soak the mackerel in fresh water for 30 minutes to remove excess salt.

  3. Boil the mackerel in water until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.

  4. Serve hot, optionally with butter or lemon.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
