What can I expect if I catch one?
Catching a Spanish Mackerel is an exciting, high-speed experience! These fish are fast, aggressive, and acrobatic, making them one of the most fun nearshore species to target.
Can you eat them?
Spanish Mackerel are good to eat if prepared fresh. They have mild, slightly oily, flaky white meat that works well for grilling, frying, or smoking. However, they spoil quickly, so proper handling is key to getting the best flavor.
How far out do we need to go to catch them?
Spanish Mackerel are primarily a nearshore species, so you don’t have to go far to catch them! They are often found right off the beaches, jetties, and piers, but you can also target them a few miles offshore when trolling or sight fishing.
