Cracking day out from Southwold. Started off fishing for bait, mackerel and sand eels, on feathers. I stuck a pirk below the feathers, and pulled in a nice 5lb cod, he must have been fishing for sand eels too! Then we moved out about 15 miles over the sand banks, after bass. Each drift was a success, everyone on the boat pulling in at least one fish per drift, ranging from 4lb to 9lb. the tiddlers (sub-40cm) were put back due to fishing regs. All in all a cracking day.

It's a crisp dry Chardonnay o'clock in this house mate, and I'm loving every minute of it lol

6 fresh, even sized mackerel

1 chopped large onion

4fl oz vinegar

4fl oz water

2 whole bay leaves

4 whole black peppercorns

Salt

 

Method:

Make slices along both sides of the fish to allow the flavours to properly penentrate when cooking

 

Now introduce the ingredients to the fish, finishing with adding the vinegar, then cook as follows;

 

Cover well with a lid or foil and cook in a moderate oven (180degC/350F or gas mark 4) for 20 to 20mins or until the flesh just leaves the bone. Leave to cool in the liquid, which will have a jellied texture, before serving with a salad. If you have less fish to cook, adjust the quantity of ingredients accordingly.
