Frozen Mackerel: Can I put them straight on a tray and into the oven, whats the best way?!
I like to do mine the old fashioned Scots way of coating them in oatmeal then pan frying them till crispy and golden brown.
A feast for mackerel lovers far and wide.
Fish thaw quite quickly under running cold water.
Answers: It's best to thaw a mackerel in my opinion, this way you can make sure it's properly cleaned unless of course you have total trust in your fish monger.

It is better to thaw them first as they will cook more evenly.
I bake them skin side, to get a really crispy skin.
Just lift mackeral up and put on a tray open oven door and put tray in oven, close oven doior simple.
A month ago I would have said thaw it.
My daughter told me she never thaws a fish anymore first, straightaway into the oven, cook about 45 min to an hour depending on the thickness, and it does not dry out.
I would not have believed it but she is absolutely correct. now I freeze all my fish fillets individually and laying flat so they can go directly in the oven frozen.
Personally i wouldnt
they are best eaten fresh and well cooked they have a high
risk of scrombotoxin being scavengers.
