First time i've been on the recipes, but I have been catching a lot of mackerel lately and I only like it fresh. So I have a lot of spare fish that will only be frozen for bait. Who has a recipe that is a bit different and will keep frozen.

I don't have any specific recipes, but my instinct directs me to a strong sauce. Mackerel is a strongly flavoured fish, so a sauce to accompany it needs a bit of bite. I would consider a mustard sauce, or a pepper sauce, or perhaps sun dried tomatoes to give a mediterranean flavour, perhaps with red onions. Just ideas, but you already have me dribbling ... :D

ACE,
For the Chinese way to cook them! :)
the simple way to cook the mackerel. Heat the pan with a bit of oil. Make sure its red hot. Clean the mackerel put a bit of salt all round the fish skin.
Then put it in the pan fried till slightly brown, turn to the other side. When both side cooked. Take it out. Clean the pan heat again with bit of oil. When its hot put some chop spring onions and 2 tsp soya sauce( added some seaseed oil if you got any). Pour it on top of the fish! Done ;)

that's how I read it too, Tim....wiping my eyes with laughter, here... ;D
So, clarify ACE? Gourmet bait recipes or something to do with the fresh ones?

If it is a fresh un, gooseberry sauce is apparently good! ;D
Gourmet bait recipes I am a little short of, though I do know that a silkskin snapper enjoys white mothers pride type bread! ;D

Not freezing but another way of preserving via Hugh Fearles Whitty stall

"The Scandinavian cure for salmon of dill, sugar and salt is now almost as well known to us in this country as smoked salmon. Less well known is just how good it is with other oily fish, particularly mackerel. "

Your doing better than me - two fishing trips (also known as holidays to the family) and no mackies, bass or mullet to show for it :-\
Managed a lobster from whitby but it was undersize so nothing but whiting, flatties and rays

A beetroot & horseradish sauce is very good with mackerel.

Poached in a glass of white wine is delicious, with chopped onion. Pour the resulting sauce over afterwards. The beetroot and horseradish sauce sounds good too.
