Clean the mackerel, first removing everything you don't need — tail, head, fins, and guts. Scrape off the scales, too. If you bought the mackerel already cleaned, so much the better. Go straight to cutting the fish into large pieces for the skewers. Gather all the pieces in one container and season with salt and black pepper — try not to overdo it. Now peel the onions and slice them into rings. In a fresh container, layer the mackerel and onion alternately: first a layer of onion, then pieces of fish, onion again, and so on until you run out. Grab another container — a small bowl works — and squeeze a lemon into it, pour in the sparkling water and oil, stir, and use it as the marinade, pouring it all over the fish. Tuck bay leaves between the layers. Set a weight on top of the whole thing and let it marinate for two hours. Any cool, out-of-the-way spot works for storing it — the fridge is best. Once the mackerel is glistening with juices and fragrant, thread it onto skewers and hold them over the coals. The heat from the glowing coals should be enough to cook it in no more than 10 minutes. Baste with water and turn the skewers, keeping the fish from burning, and carry on until it's done.
