While this dish calls for mackerel, you can substitute herring which is another strong-flavor oily fish.
I do not recommend marinating for too long. The flavor of the marinade can quickly overpower the fish.
I typically make this dish with white rice or sautéed spinach but any vegetable side could potentially compliment.
