Catch, Dispatch, Clean, Fillet, and Pickle Mackerel

I fish off the rocks in spinning for Mackerel a great fun way to catch them. Mackerel are an oily fish that will go off quickly and are at their best when eaten fresh however, there are ways to prolong the eating time of fresh Mackerel such as freezing the fish you have caught yourself, smoking them, and making Mackerel Pate etc.

In the video below, I show another way of prolonging the eating time by hot pickling the fillets similar to soused Herring. In addition to the Mackerel, Pollock and a small Bass are caught.
