By popular request at the store we got some whole mackerel in. While a fairly common fish, many are unsure how best to use this particular fish. So we figured this would be an ideal choice for this week's recipe. The recipe today is Spicy Mackerel Fish Stew (고등어 조림), originally featured on Aeri's Kitchen, this recipe has found its way around the world and is now featured here. A good blend of many Korean flavors, this is a perfect way to use mackerel. As a bonus this recipe comes with a video. Click below to find the recipe and watch the video.

1. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the sauce.
2. On top of the radish, put the mackerel.
3. Pour the sauce on top of the mackerel.
4. Boil until the soup is half reduced. Do not stir the mixture. Occasionally pour the stew’s broth over the fish and radish.
Add the onion on top of the stew. Cook until the mackerel is completely cooked.
