Jiaodong Smoked Spanish Mackerel
1.
Thaw the Spanish mackerel at room temperature. After about half an hour, when it is a little soft and ready to be cut, use a knife to cut it into flat sections. Don't wait until it is completely defrosted before cutting, otherwise there will be no flat cut surface.

Clean up all the sections of Spanish mackerel. It is very easy to process the fish and it is very clean. Don't wait until all of them are thawed before processing. It is sticky and uncomfortable. After processing, wait at room temperature and wait for all to thaw, and then wipe off the moisture on the surface.
