Was over at redondo pier tonite. Had no luck using squid bait and i got to talkin to some older guy who was real cool and was telling me how he caught a bunch of fish yesterday. He had like 10 fish in a bucket while i was talking to him and i told him i had no luck today. He ended up giving me all the fish he caught tonite which was like 10. They were all dead by then. He insisted i have them because he caught so many yesterday But they dont look like the normal pacific mackerel from around here.
Is this fish mackerel? He said it was spanish mackerel. Is it ok to eat? My wife friend already want to fry them up.
Should i just use a future bait fish? Or is it safe to eat?
