Marinated Mackerel #2 recipe
information
Mackerel are good value in the shops and even more delicious if you've taken a fishing trip anywhere round the south-west coast and caught your own. Clean, wash and wipe them well. They are filling so serve small ones for a starter, larger ones for a main course.

4 bay leaves
30 ml (2 tbsp) demerara sugar
salt
6 black peppercorns
150 ml (1/4 pint) cider vinegar
150 ml (1/4 pint) cold black tea
4 bay leaves
