1

Hard boil the eggs for about 15 minutes until they are not runny.

2

Remove the eggs from the hot water and transfer them into a bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes to cool and make peeling easier.

3

Drain the water and oil from the canned mackerel and mash it until smooth.

4

In a bowl, mix the mashed mackerel with 1 large egg, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, seasoning powder, fish seasoning, fresh parsley, and fresh onion until well combined.

5

Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the fish mixture as a binder and mix well.

6

Peel the cooled eggs and pat them dry with a paper towel.

7

Divide the fish mixture into portions according to the number of eggs.

8

Coat each egg with the fish mixture, ensuring they are fully covered.

9

Roll the coated eggs in store-bought breadcrumbs until well coated.

10

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot for deep frying.

11

Carefully add the eggs to the hot oil and do not stir immediately; let them set for a few seconds before stirring.

12

Fry the eggs until golden brown, then remove them from the oil and transfer them to absorbent paper to drain excess oil.
