Spanis mackerel bait to plate - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was wondering this exact thing. Spanish Mac at sushi bars is one of my favorite.... Can I catch them and just take them home for sashimi?

What are you doing? ... making bait and heading home.

I have it from a genuine japanese gourmand that spanish macks are the same as mexican scad. They are supposed to be good table fare.

Ok. Cat's out of the bait tank.

Just to clairfy, specifically for my Japanese wife who is dying to try one...

Could anyone post up the pics of what is considered the 'Spanish' mack?

I've pulled so many different kinds of little fish; macks, dines and every other kind of little fish imagineable on my sabiki, it's comical.
I assume the Spanish is the big eye'd one with the brown colored back?

The greenback is easy to ID, and Gino is right they are nasty.

Our greenback is close looking to what the Japanese call a 'Saba' wich I think is more like Norweigan mackrel.

Thanks all,

Willy

ooops that was the doctored one I sent to a friend as a joke
the real anglers name was ron fuji and he caught it at alijos rocks but sadly he died of a heart attack while on the boat two days later and never saw the fish get weighed in.I had the privledge of giving him his last chuckle a few minutes before he collapsed and died.
Foe all of us ...when you get the chance to go fishing go...you never know when your last day fishing will be.
I should take my own advice more often!

rip ron hope its wfo up there!
