I made this up a few weeks ago, using two grapefruit, which was a little
too grapefruity and tart. This is the amended recipe be warned, it may
need further changing. Good with any fairly fatty fish mackeral is cheap
and much undervalued, I think.

Clean the mackeral. Zest the grapefruit, then juice it. Reserve 4 thin
slices of peel. Add an equal quantity of gin to the juice and zest.
Marinade the fish in this mixture for a couple of hours. Remove the fish
from the marinade, and grill for about 58 minutes 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 / potato
starch.
