Season the fish generously on both sides with a good pinch of salt and pepper.

When hot, add the whole mackerel or fillets skin-side down.

Step 4

Fry for 2-3 minutes on one side, using your fish slice to press down on the flesh to prevent it from curling up, then flip over and fry for another 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until just cooked.
