I live on the coast of Maine, and when we mackerel fish it’s just their heads that become bait, the fish itself is absolutely delicious. I love it when people complain about fish smelling or tasting fishy. 😂. It’s like saying that a nice ribeye steak smells beefy.
Horses for courses. Some wild caught salmon is very good, like Tasmanian pink salmon, but most we had nowadays is farmed salmon. Personally I like mackarel more than any salmon.
As Indonesian, we always eat that fish almost everyday because that fish is the easiest to find and catch. And also there's a scientific proof that wild caught mackerel gave higher omega than farmed salmon 😊
I've had people act like its trash fish until I tell them how I make it and then they say it sounds good Gutted, baked whole with the stomach cavity packed with citrus slices and thyme and rosemary. Cooked elevated on more slices of citrus(any works but I mainly use grapefruit or lemon) Also helps get a full sabiki if you bounce it as you reel it
Oh boy where I live on the Swedish West Coast mackerel is a delicious delicacy so much so the people have parties when the first mackerel of the year gets caught
Here in Hawaiʻi we call it Saba…and it’s one of the most delicious fishes you can eat! It’s so oily that you don’t even need to put oil or butter in your pan…and I just put a little garlic salt on it and it’s good to go. I’ve never heard anyone call it a trash fish…it’s popular all over Europe and Asia. The funny thing is that here in Hawaiʻi, the fish that locals REFUSE to eat is a fish that so many mainlanders love to eat! The number one trash fish in Hawai’i is the tilapia…local people wouldn’t eat that if it was free. LOL.
They are quite right about tilapia, it basically lives in dirty water and eats almost everything, it might be diet friendly with not that much bones but that's all nice things about that fish...
I hate it when people call some fish "trash fish". Just because they don't eat it doesn't mean it's trash. Maybe if they weren't or whoever is cooking it for them wasn't trash cooks.
In the UK mackerel is tasty in the summer, hands down it's packed with omega 3 fatty acids and high protein, hence why bigger fish eat it, tonnes of protein😎👍
Absolutely love mackerel its delicious. We used to catch them as kids in Nova Scotia, would bring then home to dad. He would simply flour season and pan fry them. Little lemon on top and what a scoff i tells ya.
The America one was definitely racist andI’ve seen videos where there are explicitly racist comments saying stuff like “only Asians would eat this” “trash fish unless you’re a (ethnic group” I feel like fishing my be a group with a lot of pretentious people. If I saw a food I don’t like being used in cooking my first thought would be “they probably know how to make it taste good” not “trash fish”
@@hhh1234hyah, most fishers I've met were dicks, I see people eat foods I hate, i dont think "well, your fuckin weird." As a LOT of fishers do, I hate oysters, and green onion, I dont judge people who like them
I thought it was one of the best fish I have eaten. Smoked is my favorite, but other ways are fine too. Good food has good flavor, and mackerel just tastes good!
I'm from Australia an i love Spanish Mackeral. You have to try Barra or Barramundi fish. After living and eatin it 24/7 the mackeral tastes like heaven
In Maryland in spring people used go to O.C. MD and take a headboat off shore . No limit and plenty of mackerel. I only see them caught up in N.J. upward. Even from piers in the lower Hudson river.
Before Sabiki rigs we would hang 5 small gold Aberdeen hooks on a leader and cut a ½ inch piece of scrap phone line insulation at an angle to slip over the hook as a lure. I would get the old phone wire for free from phone company techs. My buddy and I would catch a 5 gal pail full and split it when we got home. They would be smoked, pickled, pickled with sour cream or fried and pickled(German style marinated fried herring).
in SoCal fishing for mackerel is an everyday thing, you can go to the piers every hour of the day and there will be somebody fishing for mackerel or waiting for the pier to open so they can fish for mackerel
In Ireland I fish for Mackerel every year. They are really good sport on a light rod & and reel. I use fathers Rig and sandeel, maybe 5. Hooks means I can have 5 Mackerel on one cast. "Oh, they are really good eating too". .
I have very vivid memories of my father and k going out in October into Skagerrak fishing after cod (we usually have a lot of success using mackerel lures for that) trouble was it was impossible to get down to the cod as wherever we went there was a 15 meter later of mackerel just below the surface which would take our lures before they could ever get down below them.
My dad and I would put crab lines with mackerel feathers on out the back of our tin boat as we motored out to our fishing spot, we could easily get ten on each leg of the trip 😊 love grilled or in pate
Not sure if these are in America but in Australia we have many different kinds of mackerel and we have one called a Spanish mackerel and they can get really big and are one of the tastiest fish in Australia
Yeah.. unfortunately, my Filipino grandfather and the fam refuse that kind of fish. I live in SD, and I remember one day we caught 50 of those off of OB pier
My asian mom and eife like to saute them, or steam them. Its good that way, not my favorite kind of fish though. I have tried it at sushi places and the fishiness is a bit much for me. I have not tried it butterflied and pan fried, looks good, i will give it a try this spring/summer. I see koreans love mackerel as well, i got to see how they prepare them.
I'd really like to know how the fish Americans regard as good taste like if this is considered trash. In Germany, you can buy these smoked everywhere in supermarkets. They're amazing when smoked, but also grilled or out of the oven.
Extremely strong/fishy and oily. They literally box these things up and sell them as bait more than sold as table fare.....never eat the bait .... and its not just a "mackerel" there are many different mackerels....this is a atlantic mackerel or northern mackerel also called a boston mackerel. You use them to catch fish that are actually edible.
Rub curry paste inside and out side the mackerel, lay on 1cm cubed potatoes. Roast in the oven. Or fillet and put them in teriyaki marinade to grill on the BBQ.
Mackerel is an awsome high omega3 oil, healthy fish. Good flavor very easy to cook well and hard to mess up. They do smell but people who don’t cook anything are usually the ones who say this.
In FL we locals eat mullet, people from out of state seem shocked because they consider it to be bait/trash fish. It's not an American thing as much as it's an inland transplant thing. People that have always lived on the water know that it's not s trash fish if it's in the cooler. Meanwhile, some dudes from Ohio come down and see the ocean for the first time and are disgusted to find that their catch doesn't taste like fillet o fish.
I’ve never heard someone call a mackerel a trash fish tbh, great eating fish
Me either....
Me too! These snobbish, uptight, ninnies don’t know what their talking about. They see an inshore fish and automatically think, “EUGH! Peasant food!”
Yeah me neither. It's popular in the UK
Ya mackerel is delicious, and various preparations including sashimi. Big in Japan 🗾
king mackerel is very ehhh though
I swear Americans call almost every fish trash
For real though
Sees a 20 pound bluefin tuna "nahh man that's trash fish, taste like shit"
How many Americans have you interviewed...BS

They call mackerel a trash fish then they eat cheese out of a spray can 🤣
As a Jamaican this is life! Mackerel is a daily staple with 1000 ways to make it! My favorite is rundung(cooked with coconut milk!)❤
I am Irish we are the same brother we love Mackerel.
As a former inmate Mackerel is a delicacy. In the pouch not the can
@@fradrake11that’s a sister…
in malaysia we call it "gulai"
Yessss esp salt mackerel n ackeee
In my experience, if someone called it trash fish, they clearly don't know how to prepare and cook it
Setuju bang
Mackerel tastes great grilled whole. Super popular as a frying fish in Asia.
Asians eat anything 😂

Great food fish. Hot smoked, cold smoked, pickled, barbecued, baked, fried. very good eating and rich in omega oils... hardly a trash fish.
I live on the coast of Maine, and when we mackerel fish it’s just their heads that become bait, the fish itself is absolutely delicious. I love it when people complain about fish smelling or tasting fishy. 😂. It’s like saying that a nice ribeye steak smells beefy.
Nicely said 👌
mackerel probably my favorite fatty fish to eat tbh tastes better than salmon
Then youve never had a freshly caught upstate NY salmon
Definitely not I live in the UK 😅@@mattburke9554
Horses for courses. Some wild caught salmon is very good, like Tasmanian pink salmon, but most we had nowadays is farmed salmon. Personally I like mackarel more than any salmon.
In Europe this fish is highly appreciated.
No one would think of calling it "Trash Fish."
Greetings from Spain.

“Today I’m gonna catch it, clean it, and eat it for dinner” well that took a violent turn 😂
A good ole Nova Scotia classic right there, awesome breakfast fish; combine it with some avocado toast, beans and egg and you’re set!
I've had people act like its trash fish until I tell them how I make it and then they say it sounds good
Gutted, baked whole with the stomach cavity packed with citrus slices and thyme and rosemary. Cooked elevated on more slices of citrus(any works but I mainly use grapefruit or lemon)
Also helps get a full sabiki if you bounce it as you reel it
Sounds good, I cook them with a Portuguese recipe, with onion, chorizo sausage, crushed pepper sauce and wine. People just can’t cook.
@@Keith-jp6jw ill have to give that a try! Got some vacuum packed in the freezer that this sounds perfect for

you guys kidding? this fish is fucking delicious
I personally eat it at least twice a month but of course in affordable large size can from the supermarket
Also if you pick the bones off and add some spices to the meat and mix it all with some bread crumbs you can make a pretty good mackerel burger patty
I hate it when people call some fish "trash fish". Just because they don't eat it doesn't mean it's trash. Maybe if they weren't or whoever is cooking it for them wasn't trash cooks.

The fish is far from stinky and smelly especially when it's fresh. First class food you have right there 👍🏼🤙🏼
Y ISN'T THIS VIRAL YET?
try it grilled it will change your life one of my favorite fish to catch & eat.
Thank you for educating me , I never seen how they look or what is used to bait them
Absolutely love mackerel its delicious. We used to catch them as kids in Nova Scotia, would bring then home to dad. He would simply flour season and pan fry them. Little lemon on top and what a scoff i tells ya.
there’s an eastern european dish called Skumbria and it’s basically just a whole smoked mackerel and it’s delicious.
Fresh mackerel is out of this world!

Mackerel isn’t a bad fish and is often consumed in Japan with sushi
I'm from Australia an i love Spanish Mackeral. You have to try Barra or Barramundi fish. After living and eatin it 24/7 the mackeral tastes like heaven
In Australia we call it slimy mackerel
types of fishing tons of variety never know what’s coming also love the interaction through fans with these and the comments popping up in vids.

As an american, I've never heard anyone call mackerel "trash fish"
I absolutely love them, their not the best eating fish but it depends on your recipe. I prefer flounder but I'll never turn it down.
I want to mackerel 🤤🤤🤤 It’s one of the fishes I want to try. Sadly I haven’t seen any of the stores where I live sell it 😭
I love mackerel! In Norway they sell it canned in tomato sauce and it's so so good

Mackerel are absolutely perfect for smoking. Their oiliness makes them incredibly rich once salted and smoked.
As an American, this video is making me hungry
Smoked mackerel is one of my favorite fish!
I love mackerel. Was on spring break in PCB and caught like 6 over 15" and served em up for dinner with my family
Mackerel are one of the best eating fish out there. Smoke mackerel is fantastic cold. Peppered smoked mackerel is a delicacy.
I really wanna try more types of fish, they look so good!
I love the taste it’s somehow similar to a few species of flounder

That fish is one of my favorites next to cod fish😅
Anything like feathers worj good, bigger hooks and red work the best
Mackerel are soo fun to catch and they taste great. Where I fish there are lots of them and they can get big.
Mackerel also hit irons and spoons there definitely fun to catch!
It’s a great day when Tackle2thepeople uploads!
My dad and I would put crab lines with mackerel feathers on out the back of our tin boat as we motored out to our fishing spot, we could easily get ten on each leg of the trip 😊 love grilled or in pate
Me to my fav. I salt it for 30 min dip in white flour
Usually I just spin for mackerel with feathers or ribbons on snoods and a weight or larger lure on the end.
They look so good iv only caught perch small
Love it! I’d eat it every day if I could. My favourite is Mackerel on toast for breakfast!
The only thing about mackerel is, I understand it goes off really fast so you have to have it fresh.
Not sure if these are in America but in Australia we have many different kinds of mackerel and we have one called a Spanish mackerel and they can get really big and are one of the tastiest fish in Australia
We call them Opelu here in hawaii. People love eating them, and it's usually $8lb if buying from the store
in scotland makrel is a fish that almost everybody likes
We used to call the lures lucky Joe's or lightening Joe's... You gotta get the biggest hooks they sell and use big bait for the big greedy mackerel
Literally my favorite fish
My province in Canada is the same, 20 per person! Add a little epoxy jig (green/silver) on the end of that sabiki and OOOF smashed every cast
They are so easy to catch that you can just rig your line with hooks alone. They will still bite...
And grilled they are peefect!
Yeah.. unfortunately, my Filipino grandfather and the fam refuse that kind of fish. I live in SD, and I remember one day we caught 50 of those off of OB pier
mackerel makes for great fish soup, sushi, grilled, or sauteed. honestly ive never seen anyone who likes fish that didnt like mackerel.
Totally agree with you tastes great
Every fall I love to either boil or fry this fish.
Here in the Netherlands they are very popular. We like to smoke them.

>one of the most commonly eaten fish in the world

Lmao, one of those commenters really said he was too American to eat mackerel 😂
I love this fish. My family eat it by grilling it with sweet chilli paste or green pepper. Good source of omega and protein tho
Mackerel has the same nutritional value as a salmon, if not higher. Fry it, grill it, steam it, its a daily staple from where I'm from.
Rub curry paste inside and out side the mackerel, lay on 1cm cubed potatoes. Roast in the oven.
Or fillet and put them in teriyaki marinade to grill on the BBQ.
As long as you prep and cook it right tasty like chicken 🐔 for real love them.
If someone called a fish trash it tells us more about the cooking skill of said person than it is about the fish 😂
If someone said the fish is trash, they probably meant their cooking skills.
Holy hell, you buy IT CANNED here in Australia and EVERY supermarket has it. And it tastes FANTASTIC compared to canned tuna
canned tuna is just disgusting

Fresh mackarel lightly salted and charcoal grilled, finished with smoke from rice hay. Shio saba, very common in Japanese eatery.
As an American, we do like mackerels it just the few who don’t that speak up first.
