During the summer my father would always invite my uncle to Cape Cod to make his favorite grilled mackerel recipe. Mackerel tastes so much better if you grill outside, but you can still saute inside and still be delicious. Add salt and pepper while fish is cooking. Beer or wine optional or fruit for dessert.
