Squeeze the fish gently in order to remove the flesh without tearing the skin, and remove the flesh from the tail to the head; leaving only the skin (to be stuffed afterwards). Ckeck the flesh for any small bones, then chop the flesh with a sharp knife. Put 1 glass olive oil and grated onions into a pan and saute until the color of the onions changes.

Just before removing the pan from the heat, add chopped parsley and dill. Stuff the fish while the filling is still hot. Flour both sides of the fish, roll in beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs or semolina and put in a frying pan in which th eolive oil has been heated beforehand. Fry both sides, remove from the frying pan and drain away excess oil. Allow the mackerel to cool and then put on a serving plate.
