I've been givin a bunch of canned cheap n nasty tuna, chicken breast and a lovely can of Goya Mackerel. The feral kitties and neighbors cats are eating good. I gotta get a new bag of dry food later today. Seems to me,some TV game show used to have Goya products as part of a prize the players could win on their show. I can't imagine winning a nice can of Mackerel. Nasty damn shit. But, the kitties love it. I guess I've never tasted Mackerel. Probably fits in between tuna and sardines. What would one do with Mackerel as a food ? I just wouldn't eat it.

Like tuna, fresh mackerel and cheap canned mackerel are completely different. Also like tuna, the different types of mackerel taste different from each other. In Japan, we ate sanma, saba, and aji. I'm not sure what they're called in English, but grilled or fried, they're very mild tasting and not fishy at all when fresh.

That don't sound too bad grilled or fried. The tiger kitty dove in face first. Getting his omega 3.. He eats all that,he will need a nap.

Good on you for feeding the feral kitties!

Growing up, we used to make salmon patty’s with canned salmon and occasionally did the same with canned mackerel.

Something like these but no onion. https://www.allrecipes.com/rec...easy-salmon-patties/

I feel like ours were just cornmeal, flour, egg and salt.

This one time, in Costco.....

Costco Kirkland White Albacore is good, and the Kirkland Salmon is as well....

Don't know about Mackerel, no kitties in the casa de HRK...

Give it to someone I don't like.

Holy.....!!!

I love grilled fresh mackerel with some strong flavors like garlic and olive oil, tomatoes and olives, but you couldn’t pay me to eat that canned shit.

Mackerel, Sardines, Tuna, in olive oil. Good eating.

Looks like they drank the liquid but didn't eat the feesh. Maybe kitties won't eat it. They are spoiled with all the tuna.

If they get hungry enough....

I love mackerel raw… as in “saba” sushi.

Never had canned mackerel, though.

I like cold smoked Mackerel. The whole fish is gutted & cleaned then smoked. It can be found at Alexey's eastern european market in Nashville. I think it is made in Atlanta.

And then there is the Holy Mackerel, served at the Vatican.
Its flavor is divine.

Seems fishy.

Rather like kippers (smoked herring).

At bit salty especially when raw.

When my son was little he wouldn't eat any meat. His favorite character from a carton was a penguin who ate mackerel, so we had to tell him everything was mackerel to get him to eat it.

0 stars. Would not eat again.
