2012 新年快樂﹗
年年有魚﹗







我發現有一種鯖魚(Mackerel),是做燻魚的好材料。這種魚有別於其他的鯖魚,它特別肥美。味道也特別重。吃來格外潤口。在韓國市場的價錢是一般鯖魚的兩倍。用它燻出來的魚又油又酥。風味絕佳。它經得起厚實燻木味的考驗,連味道最重的Hickory(山胡桃木)都不會把魚味壓倒。魚抹鹽與料之後,小醃片刻,放入220F的燻爐中燻一小時半。用清新的蘋果木到厚重的山胡桃木都可。從燻爐拿出來,趁熱吃,佐以白葡萄酒,白米飯。那種魚油滴得一盤子的風味,就不在話下了。
-------------------------------------------------------- 
後記︰我為了要了解為什麼有價錢的分別,我就買了比較便宜($2.99一磅)的鯖魚來烤。果然,是有很大的不同。貴的魚($5.99一磅)比較寬,魚皮也比較有韌性,烤出來真的魚油滿口。便宜的鯖魚比較窄,大概只有一半的油脂性。兩種魚的味道完全一樣,只是口感不同而已。要是您吃比較油的魚,我建議佐以稀飯,而且一次吃半條就好。

最上面的兩張照片是瘦魚,下兩張是肥魚。

Dear Joe,

Not sure if you had tried other ways of cooking the Mackerel? Any suggestions for those who don't like smoked fish?

With it's round shape, it sure looks meaty for me.

Dear Wei,

I was making addendum to the post when I discovered your comment. As you can see, I roasted it this time. All I did was rubbing the fish with sea salt and stuff the belly with green onion ribbons and roast them at 350F oven for 45 minutes. Both the skinny one and the fatty one are very good. But with the fatty one you can only eat so much.

Dear Joe,

Thanks. I will get the fish at the Korean H-Mart next time.
