A friend of mine went trolling the other day and caught a boatload of king and spanish mackeral. Anyone know of a good way to cook it?

I always grill the fillets with the skin on, wrapped in foil. Seasoned with some lemon juice, butter, ms. dash (or something similar), and maybe a little white wine.

Grill filets or steaks with a bit of your favorite seasoning, butter and lemon juice.

We always cut it up and use it for bait.

Actually, fresh spanish is ok broiled, or cooked like Golfer said. Too oily to fry or freeze.

Kings on the other hand? Well, it works good for baiting a crabtrap.

Eat them today. Otherwise, freeze for bait.

Yeah I found the meat has a grey tint and looked unappetizing so I never kept one. I also hear that they have a high mercury content so I wouldn't eat it on a weekly basis.
