Collapse

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Who is really eating that much mackerel? I love fish, but this is one I sit out. To add it's also a major food for many other fish... Going to have a major impact if the stocks drop lower.

I think its bycatch because that particular fish is in the same zone as more desirable fish, it is fished by trawl nets. These are nets that trawl along the ocean and scoop stuff up. Principally they would be looking for flatfish, which are a whitefish.

Mackeral, Kingfish, Monkfish and Herring are all different types of herring.

Filet it. Clean the black shit on the inside. Get a small fire going, you can also do it in the oven, but you lose that smoky flavour. Before you put it on the fire, put some soy sauce, mixed with lemon. Every time the soy sauce caramelizes, brush some more, thin coats. Do that for about 12-15 minutes (depending on the size of the mackerel filet), or until the fish smells cooked.

Eat and cry, because mackerel is going extinct and it’s one of your last chances to enjoy it.

Also delicious is shioyaki: salt fairly heavily, grill or broil the fish whole. Eat with lemon juice or ponzu.
