Cut the mackerel into four or five pieces depending on the size of the fish.

Remove the intestines from each piece by running your hand through the holes of the fish.

Remove the gills from the head of the fish.

Rinse the fish under running water until clean and the water runs clear.

Place the cleaned fish pieces in a bowl.

Season the fish with black pepper, chicken bullion powder, and salt, mixing well to ensure even coverage.

Add enough olive oil to a skillet and heat it until hot.

Add the seasoned fish to the hot oil and fry for about 6 minutes on one side.

Flip the fish over and fry for another 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the fried fish from the oil and drain.

Dice fresh tomatoes into smaller pieces and set aside.

Slice onions thinly, separating them into individual strands.

Transfer the sliced onions to the hot skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until soft and fragrant.

Blend celery salt, sweet paprika, red chili peppers, scallion, fresh ginger, and garlic with a little water until smooth.

Pour the blended mixture and diced tomatoes into the skillet with the sautéed onions and stir-fry until combined.

Cover the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water evaporates and oil rises to the top.

Season the sauce with ground cumin, black pepper, chicken bullion powder, dried oregano, curry powder, and salt, mixing well.

If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to adjust the consistency and cook for another 3 minutes.

Return the fried fish to the sauce, scooping the sauce over the fish gently to avoid breaking them apart.

Cover and simmer on low heat for 8 minutes.

Add chopped celery for freshness and stir gently before serving.
