Mackerel Pike: Heaven or Hell?
I was at H-Mart, an Asian grocery store, and I found this beauty.
I have no idea what Mackerel Pike is at all. Is it Mackerel? Is it Pike? Is it a crazy hybrid I don't know about? Or am I just dumb and Mackerel and Pike are the same thing? Either way each can was ONLY $1.29. It gets BETTER. Look at the nutritional profile.
15 grams of good fats and 69 grams of protein! WOAH. This thing is ROCKING. I always buy the canned tuna which is about 20 grams of protein and it costs me around 70 cents at the cheapest. This Mackerel Pike thing can really be a life savor in college when I run out of food or need a quick protein fix. Will it taste good? Who knows, but if it is, I'm going back and buying the whole damn case of cans.
The can is pretty awesomely huge!
No idea what the Korean says, but I think it is letting me know how to correctly open the can.

damn, missed a lot of stuff this past week. was busy as heck.
mackerel, imo, does not taste good itself. if you end up agreeing, try mixing it with a kim-chee/spicy type of dish.
i need to try that sandwich with the sludge, pb, jelly, and cool whip. that just sounds awesome.

Dude, great idea on the kim-chi. I just bought a brand new jar. Awesome idea.
Chad, if you don’t try the sandwich idea, I’d be sad. It is ABSOLUTELY bomb, IMO the taste/ease of doing it makes it top 3 meals of my choice right now.
