Unfortunately, fresh fish can not be found everywhere, so we make soup from mackerel freshly frozen.
To make the soup tasty, first, we choose the fish correctly: the eyes should be clear, the gills - dark red, there should be no damage to the skin. Secondly, you need to defrost the mackerel properly. It is necessary to thaw the fish on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator or at room temperature - until the icing glaze completely goes away. If there is not enough time, you can defrost the fish in cold, salted water, too, so the process goes much faster.
