lol@ "10 min wait for
normal fish"
sounds like off mackerel.
smoked mackerel can repeat on ya, but not fresh.
and puking too
i like the idea of chippies and supermarkets trying to get people onto mackerel, it's ubiquitous, healthy, really tasty, brilliant fish.....BUT, is so healthy cos its very oily, so it turns very quickly, even well refrigerated.....even frozen, mackerel degrades fast...
After one day the flavour strengthens, after 2 it starts to taste a bit "high", like a well hung pheasant,after 3 days the flesh gets a bit fluffy....after 4, give it to the cats.
And supermarkets sell mackerel a good 7 days after landing, is no wonder a lot of people dont fancy mackerel, or are put off after buying it...
I once bought some from tesco to use as bait, honestly, it wasn't fit for consumption, not even enough consistency to use as bait, fucking shocking.
If you can't get mackerel from a trusted source (sorry mods), that you know is selling the previous day's catch, don't bother, get tinned.
lol@mackerel rant. Myy favourite fish, top bait too. Straight from the sea, cooked straight away, even sashimied, nothing better.
