Crush half the garlic and mix with the white wine vinegar and black pepper. Marinate the mackerel fillets in this for 15 minutes.

Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the mackerel, skin-side down first, for 3-4 minutes per side until crisp and the flesh flakes easily.

In the same pan, fry the eggs for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft.
