Mackerel shashlik on the grill

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The marinade of garlic and ginger makes the fish incredibly flavorful. To let the mackerel absorb the marinade well, marinate it overnight. Additionally, you can add fish spices or herbs to the marinade. I recommend frying it whole—this way, the mackerel will be juicier. Serve the dish ready to table.
