The sight of smoked mackerel in a vacuum pack is so familiar that you rarely meet a person who would buy this fish fresh. We suggest you take a look at escabeche, a Spanish way to marinate mackerel with spices. Fry it , pour the marinade over it, leave it in the refrigerator for 12 hours, and then you can eat it as is or with your favorite side dish. Escabeche can be stored in the refrigerator for a whole week, but will most likely be eaten much sooner.
