Stichman Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 If you like oily fish, the coast is heaving with mackerel all summer, they are fun to catch and bbqed or hot smoked they are just like a big chunky sardine.Barbecued mackerel is absolutely amazing. Why do more people not barbecue fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lepeep Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Barbecued mackerel is absolutely amazing. Why do more people not barbecue fish?it's the only thing I BBQ (well, bar a fine rib eye).I can't stand sausages and burnt discs of shit.I had some sardines in a gastro pub in London, heads n all...I now know that "gastro" means "gastroenteritis"...I was spewin and pooin for a day....not a happy bunny that day...so, from now on, I don't eat the heads.

Metarie Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 It's pretty hard to go wrong when you're cooking fresh fish, only bit that is slightly icky is gutting them. I'd be a bit wary of cathcing anything too close to Aberdeen though, god knows what's in the water around here, I'd imagine you'd need to go further up the coast to get away from all the sewer water and what not.
