    When I grew up in New England, whether you caught it in Massachusetts or Maine, or New Hampshire we just called them straight up mackerel.

    Great video Will! Atlantic mackerel has many sub names, including Boston mackerel, Norwegian mackerel, Scottish mackerel or just mackerel. They are all the same. We get them in PEI & Nova Scotia as well as many other places outside the US.
    I grew up with our family lightly coating in flour with S&P & pan frying. So, so tasty. So important to clean properly. What an absolutely delicious looking meal you prepared. I will definitely try this recipe next time.
    Thanks for sharing, as always!!!

      @@CookingWithClams , It's delicious fresh,, but if you don't eat it within 24 hours it's suitable only for bait in my experience. You can't freeze it because it'll turn to mush and when we froze the excess catch to use as bait later we would add handfuls of course kosher salt to the ziploc baggies. The salt would pull the excess moisture out of the fish and toughen them up a little bit.

    Looking delicious, Will. It took me a long time to come around to eating mackerel, but you're spot-on. Prepared well, there's a savoriness that is really hard to beat.
    My grandmother had a recipe that called for stuffing them with a chouriço (linquiça's smokier, spicier cousin) and breadcrumb mixture, like the stuffed quahogs you might have encountered in southern MA or along the Cape. It's unreal. I'm biased, but Azoreans don't miss with the seafood recipes.

    Junmai mirin??? You had me wondering what I was missing for a good bit. You got a chuckle when you cleared that up.

    We call those mackerel up here "tinker mackerel" are really boney which is my biggest complaint with eating them, although even with proper care they are really "fishy" tasting due to their oils. I find them best served by butterfly filleting them to avoid the bones and then batter and fry them with a crispy outside coating to cut down on the taste.

    Firstly, another great one my friend, food looks delicious as always but I have one question. I noticed after you poured soy sauce on the egg you stuffed a paper towel around and on top of it. What is that called and what exactly does it do? Other than the obvious, the whole egg turned colors??? Thanks my friend.

    • @CookingWithClams

    Perhaps you need to use the latin names for the fish you catch so that there isn't any confusion. Serious Mushroom foragers and researchers do that because there's so many common names for individual fungi that vary from locale to locale.

      @CookingWithClams , It's especially important with fungi to use scientific names because eating the wrong one can kill you! On the other hand, eating the really right one might have you experiencing time and the universe in a very different fashion altogether....😉

    • @goodun2974
      @goodun2974 15 днів тому

      @CookingWithClams , I wonder how many people have been confused by porgies (aka scup) versus pogies (menhaden, bunker) for instance. Another one would be the flounder relative we sometimes cuaght when we were a kids that was so thin and devoid of meat that they were almost translucent to light, and because they were so skinny, we knew them only as "Irishmen", which I presume might be an analogy to the half starved Irish people fleeing the potato famine in the 1800s. In Boston I think they're known as "sand dabs". We threw them back or gave them to my best friend's lobsterman father to use for bait because there wasn't enough meat on them to be worth filleting. I'm betting that sea robins have other colloquial names for them elsewhere as well.

But, we always keep some of the bigger ones to either smoke or pickle. If you want to try the best pickled fish recipe ever then follow this link to the late great Shotgun Red's video.
