We said that the cooked fish is our favorite, but it is also the salted one, a delicious meze for our ouzo.
Especially sun-dried, is a way of preservation and delicious enjoyment because they concentrate the juices, aromas and flavors. The result is flawless!!
We have wedded Mackerel with a Cappadocian, fresh, summer salad that utilizes the favorite and nutritious wheat and herbs.

Forthe Mackerel:
- We cut the head, open the fish from the belly, washit well, open it like a butterfly without taking out the bone and we wipe it todry.
- Sprinkle with salt and hang it with a peg in a sunnyplace, but also air for an hour.
- Then put it in a shady place where the airpenetrates it again and we leave it for about 10 hours, unless we do not wantit to dry much, so we take it out earlier.
- Bake on the grill, add chopped lemon oil andparsley and accompany it with the oatmeal salad.
