Not all fish are good for grilling kebabs, but this doesn't apply to naturally fatty mackerel. It's almost impossible to overcook or ruin it, so making mackerel skewers doesn't require any complex skills. We're sharing a great step-by-step recipe that anyone can master!

Prep time: 50 minutes.
Servings: 4.

Ingredients

• 2 mackerel;
• 2 cloves garlic;
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil;
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice;
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano;
• 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika;
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper;
• 1 teaspoon salt.

Step-by-step recipe

1. Rinse and pat dry the mackerel with paper towels. Remove the head, tail, and large bones, then cut the fish fillets into large pieces.
2. Separately, press the garlic and mix it with vegetable oil, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
3. Add the fish pieces to the marinade, mix gently, and let marinate for 20-30 minutes.
4. After marinating, thread the mackerel onto skewers, leaving a small space between the pieces.
