The Frustration of Falsly Advertising Mackeral

Surely you want boned and filleted?

A fillet of fish doesnt neccesarily mean deboned, does it?

[10 Pence Short]

Oh great. We've got child-attacking egg throwers and fish OCD sufferers on here today.

Haha, you said 'boned'.

[BiggusLaddus]

How do they manage that? Even I can fillet mackeral properly.

Are there even any bones in them that don't run vertically down the spine?

Peculiar subject matter, low level of vitriol

Throw them at children. Women love men to do that.

Mackerel, shirley?

From Wikipedia: "Fillets may be skinless or have skin on; pinbones may or may not be removed."

Removing every little bone from a mackeral is nigh-on impossible but could be done with tweezers if you have the patience (I don't).

You did want boned mackerel - 'boned' means 'no bones'

Just the nature of the beast I think - they're very fine and you can't get them all out.

Expect the Spanish have nicked all the good ones.

[Scraggles]

tend to cut the end and front 1 cm off, most of the bones seem to be at the front

I know her, bit sniffy...

[Alfa_75_Steve]

I only buy whole Mackerel - it's easy to remove most of the bones after pan-frying or oven roasting them.

You just carefully and slowly pull the backbone out after cooking and it'll bring most of the other bones with it, leaving you with a comical Tom and Jerry style fish skeleton.

That is possibly one of the greatest thread titles ever In fact I want to write a book with that as the title.
