Mackerel in Tea Brew
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Since the mackerel is salted in brine, by the end of the process it will have absorbed enough brine. To keep it from being watery when you cut it up, hang it by the tail for 1 hour. The brine will drain off and the fish will slice beautifully.
