Steps to make Spanish Mackerel Curry:
  1. A - Rub a teaspoon of turmeric powder and salt (or use chicken seasoning powder) on spanish mackerel slices. Fry fish slices until cooked through. Clean okra or ladies fingers’ stem (the very end of okras stem) and place okra on a hot wok. Cook at very high heat, without oil, for few minutes or until just wilted. This is to reduce the sliminess of the cut okra. Next, slice the eggplant.
  2. B - Use store-bought, pre-mixed indian spices or prepare at home by mixing equal portion of fennel seed, cumin, fenugreek, mustard seed and nigella seed. Use a teaspoon full of this mixed spices in this curry. Alternatively, just use a pinch of each spice.

  4. D - Combine D in a bowl. Add enough water to make a soft curry paste, not too thick or too thin.
  5. Cooking the curry - Over medium heat, heat cooking oil in a big wok. Add B (mixed spices) and stir for few seconds.
  6. Add in C (blended ingredients) and cook until aromatic and translucent.
  7. Next, add D (curry paste) and continue cooking and stirring for 4-5 minutes or until oil is separated from the curry mixture.
  8. Pour 1 1/2 cups (to 2 cups) of water. Stir to mix and add sliced egg plant. Cover and bring to a boil and eggplant is tender. Season with enough chicken seasoning powder. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. Add okra and fish. Bring curry to a boil again and turn the heat off right after that. Dish up. Serve with rice, dipping bread or roti.

Throw in the cooked rice and add the defrosted peas (drained). Spanish mackerel are one of the better tasting fish caught by saltwater anglers on the Carolina coast. Spanish are wonderful on the table, better tasting than their more famous and larger cousins the king mackerel.
