Horse Mackerel on the Grill
Cook fish outdoors — the perfect dish for a picnic! Grilled horse mackerel is a great alternative to the usual shish kebab. You don't always have to grill meat; sometimes it's nice to switch to seafood. This kind of fish is inexpensive, so you can use it freely for a cookout. Prep the horse mackerel at home, then grill it out in the open with friends. It goes great with a glass of cold beer or your favorite wine — and it's just as good without any drinks at all. Serve horse mackerel with fresh vegetables, herbs, or a slice of whole-grain bread.

- Horse mackerel is a lean fish with almost no fat, and that's worth keeping in mind while you cook — especially over the grill. It's very easy to dry out, which leaves it far less tasty than you'd want. So work quickly and knock down any flare-ups right away. First, rinse the fish and start cleaning it. Opinions differ here: some people say to leave the innards in, arguing that the fish stays juicier that way — that's up to you. To clean the horse mackerel, take kitchen shears and carefully cut through the gill membrane. Then pull it away from the sides and gently draw out the gills along with the innards. The fish stays whole and neat. Rinse the horse mackerel again and pat it dry with paper towels — or just set it on the work surface for a while and let it air-dry. Now brush the dry fish all over with vegetable oil; a silicone brush works well. Salt to taste, using sea salt or plain salt, ideally coarse. Set the fish on a grill grate and place it over already hot coals. Grill for about 5 minutes per side, maybe even less — the fish should be only lightly browned. Don't overcook horse mackerel, or it will dry out and lose its flavor. Serve the fish with vegetables, herbs, or a cold drink — whatever you like best. Enjoy!
