$12 spanish mack (aji) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Bait tastes good. A bonus for me when I manage to find some spanish is turning them into sashimi. I usually ice them ASAP after bleeding them, gutting them on the spot, and to scraping out the blood.

Keep in mind though that our Spanish Macs and Greenies taste totally different from Atlantic Green Mackerel and Japanese Green Mackerel. In addition, there are various species of Aji around Japan some get over 3lbs I believe. For whatever reason our macs aren't as fatty as those mentioned above. They still taste good though.
