    Very nice video. Why don't you save the "white belly" cut into a trolling shape after removing the rib cage. It is great to use on a jig- bright and lasts a long time. Thanks.

    Awesome! I do the same but save the skin (awesome for triggerfish) and bellies (great for drum and flounder) for bait. Also, bleeding these guys by cutting the throat behind the gills really helps the taste.

    @andyvaldez212 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    If final plating presentation is important to you, here's a tip; gut the fish first by making one clean slice up the belly and remove the organs. Then rinse out the abdominal cavity in cold water making sure no blood is left behind. Mackerel is rather gammie, and it's blood is very rich in color but more importantly in 'staining' power. If you don't clear out that cavity as you can see in this video, the blood will get on the fillet and when cooked the blood looks a bit like a stain... not important of course if you'll make this fish in sauce but if you use Mackerel for butterflying over hot coals, that stain will be visible and have a greyish hue.. not pretty.
