Pro-Tip: Although not traditional in this recipe, add an egg to the marinade and mix well for increased coating uptake.
2 - Remove bones (including small bones along the backbone) from the mackerel fillet. The flesh of mackerel is very delicate, so you must handle it carefully.

4 - Marinate the fish pieces for 30 - 60 minutes.
5 - Dredge the fish pieces with the Alpha Coater and deep-fry at 170c.
