Alot of cultures consider herring, cod, and mackerel a staple in their diet, as you mentioned on another episode. " There is no bad fish, just bad cooks". If a fish, as I understand it, starts having a fishy smell, or taste, it is starting to go bad. You take care of your fish, so it shouldn't taste fishy. Catfish, and tilapia have almost the same flavor, kind of muddy. But treated right, soaked in cold water and salt. Then fried in bacon grease, and onions, they taste phenomenal. So good job. Made me hungry.

You know you had a rough day on the bluefin grounds when you’re doing a catch and cook mackerel

mackerel has become one of my favorite fish to eat...its probably one of the healthiest as well...salt, pepper, garlic powder and cook it up in some butter you're good to go!

I’ve been waiting for a mackerel catch and cook for so long!!! On the Oceanside CA pier you’re basically guaranteed to get a 5 gallon bucket full of pacific mackerel. I think they’re a bit smaller and bonier, when I cook them sometimes it’s better than tuna (sashimi, Spicy tuna rolls, pan fried or in some sort of casserole) but it can be hit or miss for me, sometimes it’s so bad I want to throw up and stop fishing for a couple days 😅

We ate mackerel a lot, And all of the bait fish you got They are NOT Trash fish, They maybe “Trash Fish” to Americans because we have so much food or fish to choose from. But outside the United States, these are FOOD/ primary source of protein... And they taste good, by just cooking them simply without the “fancy” spices we have here... Just salt them and throw in the open fire/grill... they are as good as any other fish! -😍 your show as well as Brooks!

those mackies are the best fish in the world. They are a staple here in the uk. People go wild over smoked mackerel in scotland. Keep up the good work Victor, you got the best catch clean cook channel on youtube

Excellent, good job.

I trained in a Japanese kitchen and mackerels were a staple. We used to gut them. Heavily salt the inside , lightly salt the outside. Throw the whole fish on a grill and give it a good char. The fish then peels away from the bone in long pickle spear like quarters. Dip in a little ponzu to cut the oil and some ground daikon radish and green onion. Fantastic! Absolutely fell in love with mackerel ever since.

Fresh caught macks are so delicious.

You have to smoke mackerel here in the netherlands we do that and its amazing

Enjoying your New England series Vic n Brooke!

I love all your videos. You guys are my faves!!!

I have never had raw mackerel that I've liked but for some reason once you grill or pan fry it I think they are fantastic if fresh. I'm loving these New England videos (originally from Boston).

When I was a kid had pan fried Mac a lot just gut and headless dredge in flour and fry

It's amazingggg seriously unseen such kind of fishing....

Right on bro💥 Chef Vik always coming through🔥Sweet episode💯✌🏼

Great video. All you guys are amazing

Grateful you did this Atlantic blue mackerel video. Great food fish and bait!👍🍻🎣

I love your vids keep posting and can’t wait for the next one

I love macro bro thanks for the video now i know how to fillet the fish.

HEYY FINALY IN THE CAPE YALL look like y'all had fun

Mate, that looks amazing! What an adventure

Hey! This is my domain. I live on Cape Cod, MA! Glad to see you and Brooke enjoyed yourselves and got the most out of your trip! Hope you come back sometime again and if you do next summer, you gotta go for some fluke (summer flounder)! That was my specialty this summer along with the black sea bass and striper.

Captain,fresh blue fish on the grill it is fabulous.

Great to see a travel video.

Vic you are talented how I like you and Brok cause you are extremely doing a good job

We here in New England have been eating mackerel all our lives and your right it's all in how it's prepared. It's to bad you didn't get a tuna we would have loved to see you clean & cook one of those big boys :-)

I know that boat really well . He’s a harpoon boat out of sandwich ma . Glad You had a great time . We were catching them really good last 2’weeks in rough weather .

Smoked Mackerel is a delicacy in some cultures here in South Africa. I totally love it smoked.

In KZN we are going through the 1kg and over mackerel stage you should know kzn...right

Where I am from Mackerel is almost the only fish we eat and the one we wait for in the spring. They arrive in may. I always catch enough mackerel while fishing for seabass (European, Branzino) and keep a few to bring home while releasing all seabass. Many ways to cook Mackerel, I even tried cooked in water with white wine and spices (court bouillon) then eaten cold with mayo. (like eating crab just not as good). So in june get on the boat before sun rise, hunt for seabass all morning, come back for lunch with few mackerel cleaned on the boat, (no cleaning with fresh water), set the bbq with coal or wood even better, just rub inside and out with olive oil salt and pepper and lay them straight on their back, try to find the correct balance to have them stay straight on their back as this is the thickest part to cook and you will not have to turn them at the risk of damaging their skin if it sticks to the grill. When the flesh is white inside they are done. Eat simply with new potatoes fresh out of the garden simply boiled with skin then dried in the pot with lots of salt. A nice glass of local cider and you are set. It is still early afternoon but you feel already that the day was successful, it is going to be a great summer, the grass is thick, the garden is full of aromas. Note that some will disagree and eat the seabass, Seabass is for fishing fun, mackerel for eating and tests better to me.

Great video!

Vik the next time you go to the cape, go in the summer and go on a charger to the canyons for yellowfin, bigeye, and blue marlin

Same here in sweden, love them smoked! My favorite though is the small/young ones, usually first in the spring migration here in sweden, much leaner, just perfect to fry in butter, pinch of salt, pinch of pepper and with the first potatoes of the year. It's religious to me :)

It is weird seeing him without sunglasses on lol

Mack looked good on cutting board!

Always one of my favorite fish to eat up here, fresh.

Another fantastic show! Great captain and crew. Tuna fishing like shark fishing is a waiting game but then pays off big. I will check Brooke's channel too. I jumped in while shark fishing off Long Island and touched a Mola one time. I'll pass on eating mackerel though. I was hoping to see more drone video. Nice shots of the whales. Great video.

Good pan fried, but lightly pickled Japanese style, sooo gooood

First time you prepared a fish I had before.. I like that much:-)😋

Just ordered two Dexter Fillet Knives using your Landshark code. I look forward to using them soon!

Of course blue fish are trash cans amazing video as always 💓

We have huge schools of what we call slimy mackerel on the east coast of Australia. I've eaten them often on the fishing boat as sashimi . We also fillet and smoke them and use them as sandwich filling. They are the best livebait for tuna, spanish mackerel, sailfish and marlin. Cheers Ron.

That was awesome Victor, over here in San Diego EVERYONE would dismiss mackerel as a trash bait fish...I really enjoyed this video and honestly I'm gonna try this exact catch and cook. Thank you for the inspiration.

Hey Viktor Love your's and Brooke's videos. I have seen you hand catch the DJI in a few videos and wanted to give you a little tip. If you go into the settings on the controller 3 dots upper right corner which is general settings> visual navigation> advanced> landing protection> disable. It, it will not rev-up and try to get away from you when you are hand catching it. You will be able to reach up grab it, and with your other had push down on the joystick and it will nicely shut off in your hand. Hope you can use this technique. Keep the great videos coming Congrats on the engagement and the new house.

Brine sounds better than salt water slush. Great show Vik. BOL with similar adventures such as this one.

Here in UK, smoked Mackerel with cracked black pepper is very popular with a fresh salad. Very healthy, high in Omega 3.

Dope Striper foto !

Try saba next time you're at a sushi restaurant, so good. Raw mackerel is great too.

Mackerel are delicious smoked, do a brine recipe of brown sugar and salt, I also add pickling spices to add some pep to mine. I make pates and such with it for family get together's

so Deermeat does a bluefin video trip and now this dude and all the googan's are too... lol wonder how many more we'll see in the next week

Dmfd has a crazy video about bluefin.

Over here in Britain we catch mackerel for mainly food and use some for bait

You should go Goliath grouper fishing

Nothing like eating your left over bait.Hope you were able to try our lobster. It's like a night and day experience.

Best fresh on the BBQ.

When makrell migration hits Sweden in the spring I'm always on the spot, I just love these fish, they are so tasty! Using ultralight gear is such a joy too:) formidable fighters!

Hi Victor if you would like to try something different after you fillet your fish dredge them in salt pepper and flour fry them until done set aside caramelize three or four onions until golden brown put the fish back on top of the onions turn up the heat Shake red wine vinegar all over them put the lid back on with them Steam for about 5 minutes you'll need a piece of Italian bread or sourdough and enjoy don't be afraid to sprinkle on that red wine vinegar.

So simlilar to a Mediteraenean Sardine dish. Cooked that way its epic

It's really how you cook Mackeral. I used to be meh about but then tried out the way Koreans make it (lightly floured and cooked or braised with a spicy sauce) now I love it. It's a solid easy fish to eat often

I eat all fish! They're all good! :)

Bro, you are a lot braver than I am. Not a big fish eater so there are 3 fish I fear eating. Lake trout, bluefish, and BAIT!

Yesterday we caught over 200 mackerel and holy those fish are strong on the bait rods oh and we also caught a huge 4lb one

Small bule fish.simple saute onions mushrooms in butter.add bule fish .and teriyaki sauce to taste.

Dexter skills...

Where's you learn to cook? Wow!

Hey guys here in Venezuela tarpon is considered trash fish, but in our family we have prepared it as hamburgers fish balls and a friend of mine as steaks, how about in the US? I don't even think that there are that many trashy cooks just mindset, in Asia we eat a wider variety of fish we dry them eat it raw we even ferment it. Keep on the great work & good fishing!

wow nice

Nice guys

Maple chips Smoke mac. in my opinion is the best way to do it, next time you should try it , Viktor keep up the good work.

Trying Indian mackerel very good n tasty

Fresh mackerel makes great sashimi. Keep some good soy on the boat and bring yourself some sushi rice for an onboard catch clean cook video. Would love to see you guys enjoy something fresh on the water :)

I caught a King Mackerel a couple summers ago on a charter. Bro talk about good eating fish got a pick of him to.mmm

Those would be great Mahi/Tuna bait.

You were in CT!! That's where i'm from!

My dad is from mattapoisett and I live in Florida. we go up there like 2-3 times a year and my whole family loves it there you should try the blue crabbing too at eel pond use a chicken leg on a s tring and throw it out there. In just a little while of waiting you will have them pulling the string so slowly pull them in and scoop them up with a net. They might not be around as much right now but if you go in the summer they are everywhere

I had Mackerel at a sushi restaurant. It was great.

Small blue fish around 13 inches are great fresh , fried or baked, we catch a lot of them that size in Australia

Mackerel isn't exactly American favorite but very popular in Japan and Korea. Mackerel sashimi when properly aged, tastes like rich cream cheese.

your fishing in my neck of the woods now

Bingggg bonnnnnng

And mackerel has a ton of OMEGA vitamins in them !!!

BBQ them with some lemons or rock sapphire and its amazing

I eat these mackerel all the time. A great preparation is the Japanese sushi technique called Shime Saba. You cure the fillet a few hours in salt, then marinate it in rice vinegar for 15 min. Serve over sushi rice with sesame seeds, seaweed, and chopped scallions. You'll thank me later.

You can eat the bait. I'll eat the snacks that I brought.

Thanks for the video, nice tip on removing the blood line. I bleed them in a bucket as soon as they're caught. Do the same with 16 to 20 inch blue fish and Carl will like it. The blood gives bluefish an almoat metallic/fishy taste that turns people off. Trim off that red meat on the skin side too. Thanks Again...

that is actually my favorite fish (mackerel) ...pan fried or grilled or broiled (whole on the bone) so good dipped in soy sauce/vinegar chili dipping sauce with piping hot white rice... oy... I kind of want this fish to remain unpopular so the prices will stay low... its a cheap fish but it is sooooo good!!!
