Preparation

  1. Place mackerel in pan (not an aluminum pan, since the aluminum may interact with the vinegar and discolor the sauce). Add all remaining ingredients except for red pepper strips. Cover pan and bring to simmer. Simmer about 10 minutes for one-inch-thick steaks, less if steaks are thinner. Remove from heat and chill overnight to give fish flavor.
  2. Fish may be served with or without the jelly that forms. It should be decorated with the onion and lemon slices and strips of red pepper. It will keep several days.
