gmm243 Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Friend was out fishing so I asked him to keep me a few mackerel for dinner if he had some. Came in with about 50 spare and a pollock about 5lb. Had plenty ty of takers for the fresh mackerel as long as they came gutted and beheaded. Got two nights dinner and froze a good few too for pike fishing or mink trap bait. Tomato salad with cucumber & onions all from the green house.Mostly cherry tomatoes but also some larger Black Russians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Maybe some of our Scotch friends have heard the same . When I was a young boy I used to go on the Scotch Herring drifters when they came into Yarmouth to unload there catch of Herring , I would be on the deck watching the crew members scopping the fish into baskets and then they were hauled up and tipped into bigger baskets on the quayside . If I spotted a Mackerel in the hold I would point it out and one of the blokes would chuck it up to me , I was always told that the Scotch fishermen were Supertitious of having Mackerel on board . Can anyone confirm weather this is a true fact ? THANKS . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never caught herring and very rarely have had one that I would consider to be very fresh but would love to get a few some day. This is what they were feeding on.
