BBQ Mackerel

BBQ Mackerel

Head and gut the fish and remove the tail and fins.
Rub with lemon juice, salt and pepper inside and out.
Place in a bar-b-q fish basket and baste with a combination of lemon juice, butter, vodka, and bar-b-q sauce.

Cook over a hot coal, continue to baste. Cook until the flesh is flaky, 2-3 min a side. Avoid over cooking.

Before eating remove bones by first flaking the top flesh away from the bones with a fork. Then simply grasp the backbone and gently pull it and the bones away from the bottom fillet.

This dish goes well with wild rice and squash.
A medium dark beer will do well to wash it down

Sounds good except I would drink the vodka and let the mackerel baste in my belly.

[Leif]

You can do both.
