Hot Smoked Mackerel Recipe

Recipe Photo

"Mackerel is an oily fish that is perfect for smoking because it will not dry out as much as leaner white fish. Here it is seasoned with sugar, Dijon mustard, pepper, and lemon juice. Instructions are given for both a charcoal grill and gas grill. Other dark-fleshed, oily fish may be substituted for the mackerel. Plan ahead for marination time...."
