Yes. My dad likes the grilled greenback mackerals. If you want to try them professionally cooked, go to Tajima on Convoy and order the Saba Shioyaki.

I am not a fan of greenies, but the Spanish Macks make great sashimi and I do like those. I keep them regularly as well as order them in restaurants. Better than yellowtails IMO. They sell them at Sushi Ota in PB for $17 per mackeral. An order of spanish mack sushi is more expensive than an order of yellowtail belly sushi.

My wife and mother in law like macs, but they claim they have to be the ones from the India ocean?? why..hell if I know. I could bring them buckets of macs, now if they wanted White Sea Bass or Local Yellow Tail from my they will starve!!

Macs are bait!!!
