Call me old school, but nothing better than spinning up sharkies on lead head jigs. Good honest fish IMO.

eating no :p(alltho ive had my fair share of them fresh) fighting and in general yeh.
I beleive they have an ammonia taste, hence the name shark mackerel.
its really the smell, if you gill them/bleed them straight away they still have a slight taste but generally just taste fishy to me. Once you cook em ive found most of the smell goes away, if not all of it sometimes.
