Note

There is a recipe on the forum Cold smoked mackerel at home

But mackerel can be cooked a little differently. The difference lies in the fact that this fish turns out to be drier, and its fillets are more elastic.

Try it, you may like this option more!

My remarks:

1. I cooked this fish at the same time as the first option, so for a change I did not use liquid smoke in this option. The result is a very tender, tasty salted-dried mackerel.

2. Salt needs 220 grams for every 1 kg of fish. It seems that this is a lot, but the fish will absorb the necessary amount of salt.

Thanks for the recipe.

Question: It's cold on the balcony now. Did the fish freeze?

5. Hang again by the tail for drying for two days.

That is, wash off the smoke?

And where is it written that the smoke should be washed off?

"4. Then coat well with liquid smoke and leave for 15-20 minutes.

5. Hang out again by the tail for drying for two days. "


That is, spread it with liquid smoke, let it sit for 15 minutes and hang again for two days.

This confused me - "leave for 15-20 minutes"
Because if you do not rinse, then why leave, and not immediately hang

Cold smoked mackerel (dry method)
nut
Girls, and hanging on the balcony for two days is a prerequisite. Today at 14-00 I hung it out on the balcony and walk around like that cat around the bush and think about how I can withstand until Sunday afternoon I love fish in any form, but of course except raw
Luysia
nut, if there are two fish, then you can try one now, and if there is one, be patient a little to find out what it should be.

I think so!
nut
Luysia there are not two, there are five of them - to walk like that
Luysia
Take a walk nut, walk! Customs gives the go-ahead!

Hello, I re-read all the comments twice, hence my question. But having hung out a fish somewhere on the balcony or somewhere, you don't need to wrap it up with gauze, for example? flies won't nest there?
Luysia
Marilyn, flies do not fly on my balcony, since all windows are covered with a net.

And in another case, of course, protection from flies is needed.

And if I hang this fish in this heat at room temperature by the tails, I don't have it ... no rotten go bad?
Luysia
Krosh, you yourself have already RIGHTLY decided that in this weather it is better to do Cold smoked mackerel at home Just in case of fire!
Ru
For some reason, my fish took a little more salt than I would like, but in general it's delicious. I am sure that if someone tries this fish without knowing the cooking method, then they would never distinguish it from a store fish.
