< Don't Mackerel exist
in US waters? >
They do exist here. But tinned mackerel, common overseas, are not commonly
eaten in the US. It's considered somewhere between a junk fish and an
aquired taste because it is so strong a flavor. Tuna, swordfish, fluke and
flouder, sole, sea bass, all are more popular in stores and on menus.
Catfish in the southern US mainly, with other arguments about whether farmed
catfish is a better (more delicate) or worse (less flavor<G>) choice than
the real thing.<G> Lots of farmed salmon, which is like white bread when
compared to fresh pacific salmon of any kind, and canned salmon too.
We'd speak of a "fishing line" hung over the stern. But a mackerel line?
Dunno, what makes a mackerel line different from any plain fishing line?
