BROILED FRESH MACKEREL

Probably no fish lends itself better to broiling
than fresh mackerel, as the flesh of this fish is
tender and contains sufficient fat to have a good
flavor. To improve the flavor, however, strips of
bacon are usually placed over the fish and allowed
to broil with it.

Clean and skin a fresh mackerel. Place the fish
thus prepared in a broiler, and broil first on one
side and then on the other. When seared all over,
place strips of bacon over the fish and continue to
broil until it is done. Remove from the broiler,
season with salt and pepper, and serve.
