    Is wrap it up in tin foil and put it in the oven.
    Does anyone know any herbs or what else that can be added ???
    I don’t know whether anyone else does this - but I go through diet fads.
    These days I’m mostly eating mackerel and toffee crisps bars - obviously one after the other not both on the same plate.

    Is cannabis a herb cos I suspect you might have been smoking that rather than the mackerel!

    BTW - it’s not a post out of the blue.
    I’ve been talking to someone today who posts on here and when I told him about what I’m eating at the moment he said I should post that on the BBS.
    :) :) :)

    Make sure it is fresh and doesn't smell too fishy.

    The fish should be fully cleaned and gutted with no bloody bits in sight, this should provide a nice sized orifice.

    Take the flappy bits below the belly and peel them apart...at this point you'll find that if you massage them between thumb and forefinger they become more moist and supple making inserting a filling easier.

    Insert a knob of butter to keep the cavity juicy.

    Chose herbs that traditionally add both moistness and taste sensual but at the same time complement the mackerel , both cumin and dill do.

    Finally, cook until the skin is crispy and the flesh is firm. I find spit roasting works best but don't try for too much brown as the result can be unpleasant.

    Enjoy !!!

    Wouldn't bother with mackerel - it's got a pretty strong flavour already, hasn't it?
