Spanish Mackerel:

Soak in Zesty Italian dressing for about 20 minutes, then put them on a broiler pan (500° for about 8 minutes…raise racks in oven) and top with butter, cajun seasoning, lemon juice and parmesan cheese. The cheese makes a nice crust.

Spanish Mackerel: barbecue the fillets. The ingredients are 2 pounds of fillets or steaks,1 cup of barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste, , and 2 lemons. Arrange the fillets or steaks in a shallow pan. Squeeze the lemon juice over the steaks. Brush barbecue sauce over the fish. Broil, basting several times, until the flesh is easily flaked with a fork.

If you have never fileted or cooked Spanish, I always remove the thin red line of meat along the spine. I usually bake mine in butter (actually Smart Balance) some olive oil, seasoning (try different kinds such as lemon-pepper, garlic, creole, cajun, etc.. They are all good.
