Braised Spanish Mackerel

Braised Spanish Mackerel

Overview

There are quite a lot of chilled sea fish in the market here, but you have to go early to buy fresher ones. So whenever I go to the market very early, I will go to the stalls selling chilled fish. The fishing moratorium has just passed in the past two months, so there are still many varieties and they are quite fresh. This time I bought Spanish mackerel. The meat of Spanish mackerel is spiny and less thorny. It is delicious and nutritious. The meat is firm and tight and is in the shape of an awl, which is probably related to its faster swimming speed. In addition to fresh food, it can also be processed to make canned and salted and dried products
