Frozen mackerel appetizer: tastes like lard
Frozen mackerel can be used not only for baking and frying. It makes a great cold appetizer. Since the fish is frozen, it will be perfectly sliced and the pieces will be perfectly even. This fish tastes like lard.
The idea of preparing a frozen mackerel appetizer was published on the Instagram page of food blogger valerikiry. One fish can be made with lemon and the other with herbs.
