Method:
1 - Make your marinade. To a bowl, add soy sauce, minced ginger and sake.
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.
3 - Slice the fillet into 2cm wide strips slightly diagonally.
4 - Marinate the fish pieces for 30 - 60 minutes.
5 - Dredge the fish pieces with the Alpha Coater and deep-fry at 170c.
