Directions:
Clean the Mackerel and zest the grapefruit, then juice it. Reserve four thin slices of peel. Add an equal quantity of gin to the juice and zest. Marinade the fish in this mixture for at least a couple of hours.

Remove the fish from the marinade, and grill for about 5-8 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the fish (until the flesh next to the bone is just opaque).

Meanwhile fry the onion in the butter on a low heat until just golden. Add the marinade and sugar, and turn the heat up – simmer the sauce until it is thickish. Adjust seasoning, and thickness with orange juice and potato starch. Serves two – double amount for four.
