Grilled Mackerel



In Maine at my mothers house I got my hands on some Boston Mackerel an excellent and underused fish. I grabbed grape leaves from the garden and an array of herbs, lovage, thyme, parsley, verbena, chives and stuffed the bellies with the herbs and lots of salt and pepper. I wrapped them in the leaves and grilled them over hard wood charcoal. Delicious. The only tedious part was gutting them (I neglected to ask the fish monger to do it for me) and tying them. But they were worth it. Mackerel is one of those great super healthy and environmentally friendly fish that no one likes. O well more for me!
