Are you a fan of pickled fish? If so, you’re in for a treat! Homemade pickled mackerel is not only delicious but also easy to make. This step-by-step guide will show you how to make your own pickled mackerel right in your kitchen. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

  • 2 pounds of fresh mackerel fillets
  • 1 cup of white vinegar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon of whole peppercorns
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Step 1: Preparing the Fish

Clean the mackerel fillets by rinsing them thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel and remove any bones or skin. Cut the fillets into desired serving sizes and set aside.

Step 2: Making the Pickling Liquid

In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, bay leaf, peppercorns, sliced onion, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt. Once boiling, remove the pickling liquid from the heat and let it cool completely.

Step 3: Pickling the Mackerel

In a glass or ceramic container, place a layer of mackerel fillets. Pour enough of the cooled pickling liquid to completely cover the fish. Repeat this process, layering the mackerel and pickling liquid until all the fillets are submerged.

Step 4: Marinating and Storing

Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop and the mackerel to pickle properly. The longer you marinate, the stronger the flavors will become. Store the pickled mackerel in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Serving Suggestions

Homemade pickled mackerel makes a delicious addition to salads, sandwiches, or as part of a seafood platter. Serve it with some crusty bread and butter for a delightful snack or appetizer.

You don’t need to rely on store-bought pickled fish when you can easily make your own at home. By following this simple step-by-step guide, you’ll have a batch of flavorful homemade pickled mackerel that will impress your family and friends. Enjoy!
