@Tackle2thePeople You should try fishing bantam lake in morris Connecticut there are pike, perch, trout, bass, carp, and sunfish. I think it would be a cool video.
@@shimasfaris2917you are correct. I'm an American tuna fisherman in Honolulu. We have Filipino,vietmaneses and Indonesia crews. I eat more fish that previously in life I wouldn't have eaten and they are all great. Americans are so brainwashed to eat processed food and fast food that they call the most healthy foods like this trash
And you can find mackerel in every friggen grocery store in the USA too. Its great because its the cheapest fish protein. If you dont like the fishy flavor buy the smoked or smother it in hot sauce . As an American this channel is the 1st time ive heard of this 'trash fish' phenomena. I think these guys are unique because theyre fisherman they have the option to be picky.
Actually, cebolada can be used on just about anything, in this particular case would be (Cebolada de Carapau) which one pours the light stew, over fried/BBQ Mackerel or any other fish or meat for that matter. Yummy, Yummy in my tummy!!!!!!!!!
@user-og1wr9fp5i Yes, I usually make the stew and pour it over the fish and bake it. It’s very good. I usually only make it with fish but i bet it’s good for everything.
Hello, grilled mackerel enjoyer from Korea here. The fish will taste good no matter how it looks like, but maybe I can share some tips from my side of the world about grilling mackerels. Grilled mackerels on 11:56 look like that because mackerels have thin and weak skins. It will crumble easily when you move the fish on a grill or a pan. One way to cook both sides evenly without flipping it is to butterfly the fish before you grill it. You can then spread the butterflied mackerel it on the grill skin side down, and cover it with a lid. Because it is butterflied, the whole flesh is now half as thick, so the top part can be cooked only with the ambient heat between the lid and the grill. Meanwhile the skin will become harder and crispier because it can be grilled for a longer time without being disturbed. I know this very well because my frying pan looked just like your grill when I cooked mackerels by myself for the first time. It had skin and flesh sticking all over the pan's surface, and my mackerel wasn't as pretty as what I expected. That was when my mom gave me an advice to stop my mackerels from sticking to my pan and making a mess: don't flip the fish. No wonder she grills her fish with double-sided frying pans.
I starting fishing in the past few months for the first time in my life and it has completely taken over my life, I have multiple rods, many lures I dont need lol, and I even bought a kayak and go out 3-4 times a week in huge part to your videos. I think I've seen just about every single video on your channel and am extremely hyped whenever you release these commercial fishing videos. The fishing in Illinois is definitely a whole different deal so I hope to one day be able to fish out on the open water like in your videos.
My girlfriend is from Africa and we both love seafood so we cook a lot of different fish. I never had mackerel before but the price is super cheap for a really tasty fish. No idea how people don’t like it.
Years ago I always would take a few fresh mackerel fillets home and just pan fry in a bit of butter with s/p....one of the best tasting fish, just awesome!
bro, nothing beats fresh fillets with butter and s&p. maybe a brush of soy sauce, mirin and sake on each side after cooking and let it steam residual heat and cover.
I will give anything to have mackerel every meal of the day.The oils from mackerel is so rich with omega 3 and 6 that it is so healthy.For those who don't know its usefulness,the whole horde you sold off with some that you throw in for purchase as add ons really cost a lot out here in Africa.
On the dock in Quebec no one keeps these because they’re « trash fish » and just gave them to me, now I have like 20 in my freezer and I eat some several times a week
In Sweden Id say its part of our culture on the westcoast to go fish for mackarel to then either fry it with butter in a pan, or put it in tomato sauce and cook it. Super popular fish for eating here
Mackarel is also really popular in American prison! Since it's cheap, canned or boxed mackarel tends to be available in the commissary. Protein is pretty hard to acquire on a prison diet, so mackarel ("macks" as they're known in prison) are *extremely* valuable. Macks are practically their own currency in the US penal system.
Proper Irish ❤ You are a fantastic narrator: kind, friendly, sense of humor but not biting. It’s because of you that I booked a Striper session with Captain Cam… it was lights out excellent. Love your channel. Do you offer any freshwater guided sessions?
I've had a half-Japanese friend who brought me a mackerel dish cooked by his mom. It was probably one of the best fish dishes I've ever tasted in my life.
Unfortunately here in Canada, NS, Commercial fishing the last few years for mackerel had been shut down, as well as recreational fishing limits (20 per person) with a size limit of 10.5 inches... Interesting food for thought!
@@Steve-em4tb ALOT of people from here would get rather upset and disagree with you., They are slowly disappearing here just like the cod, stripped bass. (Striped bass probably a part of the decline as they are starting to repopulate the waters around NS), there are a lot of online arguments about them impacting the lobster fishery as well I can only say I've caught two bass with bellys of baby lobsters if that's common idk. Personally I see plenty of mackerel everywhere I'm fishing for them and disagree with the standing recreational rules of 20 fish over 10.5 as letting 50 go that are hooked fu(ked from getting jigged but are an inch too small have a bad chance of recovery. Maybe have it the first 20 you catch? Idk.. The people who write our laws sit in an office lol.
@@snipermanox1 I thought the cod was coming back to the point they reopened the fisheries to a limited extent? And you are 100% right about the legislators sitting in their ivory tower. I bet none of them have ever gone fishing.
I grew up in the Carribean... The thought of a fish being "trash" because it taste like fish is insane. If it's not poisonous I'm eating it . People just need to learn how to cook properly.
I can buy mackerel from the supermarket in Britain either plain or in those pre-seasoned packs. Never once even crossed my mind that people consider it trash.
Fishing in portugal produces lots of different fish, but mackerel or Sarda as we call them, is everywhere, from canned as you said, be it in olive oil, in tomato paste, etc, to grilled on the cools just as we do with sardines. It's quite abundant and i always keep a couple of fillets on my freezer, try them grilled with lime juice and soy sauce, it's amazing. For a lot of people in portugal it's a fish that symbolizes the summer, when most people are grilling fish on the coals, pairing it with a fresh tomato, onion and cucumber salad. Thanks for the video, hopefully more people will learn to appreciate this fish.
@@ChayrityPerez yeah and it's almost never eaten as is out of the can. It's mixed with mayo and all sorts of things, also tuna in a can is kind of a poor people's food, which is also why mackerel is so popular around the world.
remove the blood line and it doesn't have that flavor. I personally can't stand the fishy taste and smell, but it never bothered me with mackerel, especially since i always fried it.
@@simonphoenix3789 but there so small if you remove the blood line there is nothing left lol. If much rather just fish for other fish that taste better and yield more meat.
Mackerel... yum. Just between the pectoral fins you have the liver. Just above and forward is the heart. Keep those two when cleaning. There are so many preperation methods I've started writing a book. One of my favorites is fillet, separate the high and low loins. Each fish makes 4 finger fillets. Save the belly flap meat for bait. Double bread the fillets with a spicey mix and fry into delicious fish sticks. Eat with fat french fries and your favorite sauce, beer or soda. Hearts and livers go with breakfast. Mix them into scrambled eggs or sauté them and spread on crispy toast. Taste like eating a clean fish market.
In France we love it. Freshly cooked in an oven with white wine and onions, grilled on the barbecue, fileted raw with lemon juice, smoked with black pepper, tinned, shredded cooked filets with cream cheese and chives, all ways of eating it. It's delicious
I have cleaned hundreds of mackerel for salting ( similar to cod fish)and I (Portuguese) love them grilled like in the video ,thou I remove the head ,guts and I filet one side and leave the main bone on the other side …add olive oil ,garlic powder,vinegar and pepper paste …grill and enjoy …used to catch them with Portuguese American friends in Cape Cod .
I’m Korean and we love that fish!!!! It’s good salted grilled, make spicy stew with radishes or potatoes! Why would some call it his trash fish? This is very nutritional fish packed with omegas
I happened to be eating a smoked mackerel dip when I came upon this video. My son and I are always thrilled to catch mackerel while fishing in the Gulf or Atlantic. We make dip, salted and brined for sushi rolls, smoked and dried for escabeche (pickled with vegetables) , jerky, and even burgers. I had ceviche in Nicaragua made with mackerel and it was good too. Nothing 'trash' at all about mackerel!
Cape Cod was fished out of cod long ago. For years, the fishery in the Provincetown fleet was built on mackerel. The Portugues fishermen - actually Azorean - netted mackerel from vast schools.They said you could walk across the mackerel, they were so densely packed. Most all of their catch was shipped to southern Europe, where it was a staple. This was true right into the mid-20th century.
My favorite way to prepare mackerel is to get it canned in sunflower oil, then open up the can and use the oil to story fry some paprika and onion, then later on add the mackerel, ad seasoning to taste, and when its done, serve it with rice.
I love this fish. I first tasted it in Japan. Then I had it in Utah, US. Now in my country Malaysia, I regularly buy and eat it. It is available in the forms of frozen whole fish and frozen fillets in many supermarkets in Malaysia.
As person of Irish descent, and from a commercial fishing background I can confirm Irish do love mackerel. We cut them into steaks and boil them, or fillet them and fry them.
I dont even fish a lot anymore. Work got in the way, but in the midwest I love me some white bass! I feel it is very underappreciated. Now I am subbed and one day I wanna try some ocean fishing
Mackerel is eaten in norway alot and england and europe. Its a very tasty fish, espescially with alot of tomato and cream or even alot of tomato. Tomato is mackerel's best friend.
As a Hongkonger, i eat fried Mackerel, with only salt seasoning and cornstarch for a crispy cover. I would add some kewpie, with black pepper, dipping it and have a day. Mackerel in fresh are very tastie, but in Hong kong (at least around my home), there is no fresh ones, so i eat quick-freeze one, which also taste very good. It is just tasty and umami
The problem is that it’s hard to find in fish markets. It’s the same with bluefish. Both wonderful fish, but everyone says they are too oily and such. A beautiful fish and very healthy to eat.
scale, gut, gill and wash clean.. pap down dry .. then use salt to rub the fish inside to out.. lay it on some kitchen towels as much fish juice will keep oozing out. create a small bbq fire and slowly grill it until exterior is golden brown n crisp. squeeze a dash of lemon and some black pepper if needed . Enjoy!!
We eat makrel in sweden too. I like to fry makrel filet and when they are almost done I add cream and a lot of dill. We eat it with mashed potatoes. Delicious! 😋
We use it as bait when we go fishing north of Boston. I let everyone keep stipper if we catch any and I take whatever Mackerel is left in the cooler. I prefer grill, pan, olive oil, salt, pepper and little lemon sqeeze. Boom!
I had Mackerel for the first time this year and it was Excellent! They have a good amount of meat for its size also and the texture is similar to Tuna. I love em!
Mackerel has been frowned on in the USA but I will take it over about any meat. In Russia it is a staple smoked and simply fried it is fantastic. A fantastic source of protein and healthy fish oil. Sadly its increasing popularity will just cause prices to rise. Live healthy-eat fish!
Yeah I wear crocks also when I go out after capsizing with steel toed whites boots and having to swim 300 yards to shore . It's crocks only for me now!
It never seizes to bewilder me, why people don't eat Macrell. It is one of the absolute best fish to fry. Fry the filets with salt and pepper, and boil some potatoes, and carrots. Serve with Sour Cream and slices of cucumber marinated in a mix of vinegar/water/sugar. Do that, and you have a meal that is more than worthy of a king.
You don't need any special rig to catch mackerel, my mum and grandpa used a line and hooks with silver paper from a bar of chocolate. They caught so many that they got a reduction in their B&B holiday charge as the landlady had what they could not eat.
worked at a fish processing facility we mostly made fish paste out of it until they started to get less fish so they caned mackerel but it's best Smoked it is almost like Fish roe
Mackerel is great eating. I see you are south of Boston. Do you have any contacts doing this on the NOrth Shore above Boston. I would love to get me some fresh mackerel.
I had raw makerel sashimi at a Japanese restaurant and it was one of the best raw fishes that I've had. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was that way.
Grilled … it’s very tasty. Japanese style Saba Shioyaki or Teriyaki is so yummy! The flesh can also be used in an Asian fish broth such as ‘laksa’. Totally tasty.
This is probably my favorite fish love eating it as sushi or can. My grandma grow up living by the Mediterranean Sea and they have horse mackerel and she would eat that as a kid
I think a lot of the hate for mackerel comes from eating it while it's not fresh, mackerel has a a very short window of when you can eat it. If you get it from the fish mongers, it's probably been kept on ice for a few days - the fish taste gets stronger and the meat becomes less firm. I always eat it the same day I catch it - a squeeze of lemon and some salt - and I usually eat it either with couscous or pasta and pesto.

Mackerel has been frowned on in the USA but I will take it over about any meat. In Russia it is a staple smoked and simply fried it is fantastic. A fantastic source of protein and healthy fish oil. Sadly its increasing popularity will just cause prices to rise. Live healthy-eat fish!
Great vid man, from sweden and many scandinavians love mackerel as well♥
Thanks for watching!
I've found it for sale fresh before. It doesn't taste bad - very oily, but fish oil is good for you.
from Newfoundland Canada, Mackrel is huge in our culture and a very popular fish to eat, after the cod fish come through the mackrel aren't far behind
Lol the comfort level meter 😊
My mother used to make that dressing and it's also great with lamb, prawns (seafood in general) and pork.
They call it trash so they can keep everything. 😂🤣😆
Swedish people love it aloooooot it’s great Pan seared and smocked
Yeah I wear crocks also when I go out after capsizing with steel toed whites boots and having to swim 300 yards to shore .
It's crocks only for me now!
Cool looking fish, like the green and black stripes
It never seizes to bewilder me, why people don't eat Macrell. It is one of the absolute best fish to fry. Fry the filets with salt and pepper, and boil some potatoes, and carrots. Serve with Sour Cream and slices of cucumber marinated in a mix of vinegar/water/sugar. Do that, and you have a meal that is more than worthy of a king.
You don't need any special rig to catch mackerel, my mum and grandpa used a line and hooks with silver paper from a bar of chocolate. They caught so many that they got a reduction in their B&B holiday charge as the landlady had what they could not eat.
German here. Us and the Dutch, we eat smoked Mackerel.
Also, I just bought a can of fried Mackerel in brine at ALDI, earlier today.
Crazy I was looking into catching mackerel the other day, any tips for someone who doesn't have a boat and wants to catch mackerel in New England?
Glad I found your channel! Can't wait to try some of the bait you show in other vids. 😊
I recently subscribed and love your videos! I'm Korean and love grilled mackerel over a wood fire 😋
Mackeral are such beautiful fish. Very fun to catch and if you cook them well they're delicious.. saute with a little garlic and butter and voila
worked at a fish processing facility we mostly made fish paste out of it until they started to get less fish so they caned mackerel but it's best Smoked it is almost like Fish roe
Mackerel is great eating. I see you are south of Boston. Do you have any contacts doing this on the NOrth Shore above Boston. I would love to get me some fresh mackerel.
Quickly became my favorite series on TH-cam
I had raw makerel sashimi at a Japanese restaurant and it was one of the best raw fishes that I've had. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was that way.
Grilled … it’s very tasty. Japanese style Saba Shioyaki or Teriyaki is so yummy!
The flesh can also be used in an Asian fish broth such as ‘laksa’. Totally tasty.
Lots of people here in south Florida consider mackerel trash, but lots think that it’s delicious if smoked and are fine with it for that.
This is probably my favorite fish love eating it as sushi or can. My grandma grow up living by the Mediterranean Sea and they have horse mackerel and she would eat that as a kid
I think a lot of the hate for mackerel comes from eating it while it's not fresh, mackerel has a a very short window of when you can eat it. If you get it from the fish mongers, it's probably been kept on ice for a few days - the fish taste gets stronger and the meat becomes less firm.
I always eat it the same day I catch it - a squeeze of lemon and some salt - and I usually eat it either with couscous or pasta and pesto.
