I can't imagine canned mackerel would be anything but nasty. When I
was training dolphins and sea lions I started my day by thawing and
chopping up hundreds of pounds of mackerel.  I never did like the smell.

You know I like to cook and eat a fair variety of mild fish.  Mackerel
was never on my radar.  It's an oily fish.  I prefer light, flaky white
fish.  I don't even care for salmon fillets, yet oddly enough I like
salmon patties made from canned salmon.

My wife once bought mackerel steaks.  I was not looking forward to them
but cooked up and served with a lemon and caper butter sauce it wasn't
as bad as I had expected.

When we were living in San Bruno, I would always order grilled mackerel
at the Japanese restaurant down the El Camino Real. It's a classic
Japanese dish,. Those were wonderful days.
These days, I'd just make it myself. As an added bonus, it's a cheap
fish. The main problem with broiling mackerel like I do is that your
house is going to smell like fish for a few days.
