Clean and gut the mackerel, removing the head and tail if desired.

Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs and water until well combined.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients to form a smooth batter.

Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Dip each mackerel fillet into the batter, coating well.

Carefully place the battered mackerel into the hot oil, frying in batches.

Fry the fish until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove the fried mackerel and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of parsley.
