5 steps

    Step

    Using a cleaned board and knife, pat the fillet dry with a paper towel and inspect it for any remaining bones.

    Step

    Remove any pin bones with cleaned fish tweezers, then run a fingertip over the fillet to check again.

  4. 4
    Prep

    Remove the skin if it is still attached, then slice the fillet diagonally across the grain into 0.5 cm pieces.

  5. 5
    Finish

    Arrange the onion and water dropwort on a plate, add the mackerel, and serve with lemon and sauces.

    Keep it cold and eat immediately.

Sprinkling lemon juice directly onto the fish too early can turn the flesh white due to acidity, so do it right before eating.
