This recipe can be used to cook any sea fish, but I especially like mackerel.
Thanks to the spices, its taste is transformed, and lemon juice makes the meat firmer, more elastic and white. Sometimes I leave the fish in the refrigerator to marinate overnight. Very tasty and unusual!
To prepare mackerel fried in Egyptian style, you need to take mackerel (or any other sea fish), premium wheat flour, refined sunflower oil, juniper berries, black peppercorns, cumin seeds, garlic (3-4 small cloves or 1 large ), salt and lemon.
