I can't say macks are on the top of my culinary list, but I have tried them bbq'd and sushi style....I prefer them as live bait or fighting at the end of my 6lb rig personally. Thanks for the heads up on the bite.

I used to catch tons of macks on Belmont as a kid and my uncle LOVED em - I'd give him my entire catch. I thought they were a bit oily but I'm sure if prepared right they can be tasty. They do use them for sushi so they cant be all that bad.

i ate some spanish mackeral once on a boat it was pretty tasty sashimi

I concur,spanish macks are excellent...they are in the jack family, the meat is white..very good to eat......the ones that we catch around here arent actully spanish macks, they are jack mackerel, its just what we call them....

"Hey, smoked mackerel may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy....."



And before I get flamed, I don't eat any type of fish. It's just not me. :P

I'll pin one when the yellows are breezing at Coronado tho!
