Small mackerel needs careful selection because its oily flesh is most enjoyable when the fish reaches you in good fresh condition. Fresh Fish Dubai checks the fish for firm flesh, clear eyes, bright skin and a clean fresh smell before preparation, then hand picks, cleans and cuts the order according to the selected variant.
The fish is kept chilled at 0 to 4°C during refrigerated handling so its firm texture and naturally rich oils are better preserved until delivery.
Small mackerel has a noticeably rich flavour compared with milder white fish. Its firm oily flesh holds seasoning well, which makes it particularly suitable for chilli, turmeric, garlic, lemon, cumin and other strong marinades.
The small size also works well for individual portions. Whole cleaned fish can go directly into a frying pan or onto a grill with minimal preparation.
• Small fish selection: The smaller size is useful for individual portions and crisp frying, with the available piece count shown according to the current batch.
• Oily flesh handled with care: Mackerel naturally contains more oil than many lean white fish, so Fresh Fish Dubai keeps it continuously refrigerated between 0 and 4°C during handling and delivery.
• Prepared for your order: Fresh seafood is hand picked, cleaned and cut to order rather than being pre cooked or pre packed.
