  • Five days. That's how long it takes to make the popular house-smoked mackerel toast at Mabel's Gone Fishing. The process starts when fresh seafood from local fishermen is delivered to the San Diego restaurant. From there, the fish is cleaned, cured, smoked, and marinated over the week.
    Dedicated to serving seasonal seafood, Mabel's Gone Fishing has become a destination restaurant, achieving Michelin Bib Gourmand status and making it on Eater's 2022 Best New Restaurant list.

    I've had a pleasure to visit Mabel's Gone Fishing last month, and the whole experience was just perfect. We were seated at the bar, and the whole kitchen was right in front of us. When I say that the team does an amazing job, it's a gross understatement - they are true artists in the culinary craft and watching them do what they do was just as much of a delight as the dishes they produced. Watching this makes me want to hop on the plane to San Diego and eat my heart out at Mabel's.

    This one's for the chefs. U guys probly already kno this trick but incase u don't. If u put a flat tray over the grill upside down it will make ur grill incredibly hot after 10min. Great for charing the prawns if ur looking to increase ur hot spot. Great vid best of luck

    This place looks nice! Simple food, approachable and classic flavors, good quality ingredients, etc… I mean, what more could you want from a local restaurant? I will say, though, based on this video, the portions are small, so ordering dishes like the Mussels Escabeche at $14 will quickly add up to a steep bill if you want to have a proper meal, especially if you add drinks to the equation. I’ve been to restaurants like this and it’s easy to try a lot of things without thinking too much and then get shocked with the bill afterwards.

    bruh at least toast the sourdough bread in the mackerel's natural oil or olive oil on the grill first before putting the smoked mackerel on top. I do like the concept where this restaurant is heading tho. Popcorn shrimp needs some sizzling Hot oil Garlic Chives/Green onion chives then a little of the sherry vinegar. So they stay crispy, but packs a punch of flavors to compliment the popcorn shrimp.

I know that with the change of ocean temperatures various types of fish, like tuna, find themselves close to San Diego. I'm glad you're working with mackerel. It's an unvalued fish.
