Anyone ever actually eat the bait? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I eat them all the time if they are big ones. You can fry them grill them or marinade them. When you cut them make sure the meat is nice and white, Taste better. Now not all mackerel were born same. The best i ever had were the Medierranean mackerel the meat is nice white and not as oily. In the Medierranean area Mackerel is is up toward the top of the list. Most of the time its Grilled or baked. Russians eat marinaded Mackerel with boiled potatoes and veg on the side.
Just in case you guys didnt notice i love good food and love to cook lol.
If i could only catch something big to make a proper dinner.

..... Making a simple cure of 90% salt 10%sugar... some lemon zest and fennel pollen...... lightly cover for 10min...... rinse..... dry.... eat...

this same cure is great on local halibut for doing a crudo....

Crudo..= Sliced fish, citrus juice, olive oil, maldon salt, lil bit radish, italian arugula, or any other garnish you may see fit.....

Try it ....delish....

LIL bit this

Hell ya I ate my bait. I've brought home our local squid and they're fantastic. Back in North Carolina where live shrimp is the candy bait I've added them as a topping to the fish I caught that day. Mike

I live in south east SD so I give my macs to my Filipino neighbors...they can't get enough of them.

Never tried the bait but often wondered about the "Big Mac's" since I know many cultures eat them... hell I have eaten them in Japan. We should all give it a try if not only to get into the head of the Yellow Tails and see what makes them tick.
