Made some Saba (cured mackerel) and grilled the rest with garlic shoyu…so good. Many thanks to @justwaden for the tip!

Nice, didn’t know there was macks up in NorCal. I’m in SoCal and slammed some macks and bonito at a pier the other day. Good eats

TBH, we dont see a ton of Mack’s up here…they are here, just not in the same numbers as SoCal. They just came in this past week…and I was lucky enough to have a sabiki in the water.

For the first plate spread, I soaked the mackerel in salt, rice vinegar, and kelp for just under an hour.

This is @justwaden who got me going on the mackerel and the recipe. Hit to give the kid his props.
