To eat or not to eat...that is the question?

From time to time, there has been discussion of the food value of mackerel and bonito on various fishing websites that I enjoy membership.

Having lived in Istanbul, Turkey, I have had enjoyed the seafood dishes that are prepared there. I noticed that mackerel and bonito have a higher food value than in US.
When I have caught some bonito that I cannot use, my Turkish friends appreciate them.
Anyhow, I recently purchased a Turkish cooking book and saw some great pictures of seafood dishes prepared with mackerel and bonito.
If you ever had a chance of being introduced to Raki, there is a recipe to use that too.

Here is a link to the book:

I am assuming that since it is on the net—that I am not violating any copyrights.

Page 36-40; discusses the various fish species that are common in Turkey.
Page 168-170; is about mackerel dishes.
Page 185; for a bonito recipe.
Page 181; seabass and Raki.


This delicious bonito sushi was prepared by Andrew (the exacitive officer of Stoked On Fishing organization) at Cedros island.

I keep a small laminated copy of it in my wallet to show when the subject arises.

For those of you who are not cooking challenged like me, I hope you can try a recipe or two.



Bon Appetite.
