Saturday night Cathryn and I did some Fresh King Mackeral Steaks and Mahogany Clams. Steaks were marinated in Zesty Italian dressing, clams were simply steamed and dipped in butter and/or sriracha.

Sunday we did some Pepper Stout Beef. Started off with a 4.6lb chuck shoulder blade roast.

Seasoned with worcestershire, salt, pepper and granulated garlic.

For some unknown reason, I felt it needed more peppers......I PAID FOR IT.

Everything looks perfect! Are those peppers from a jar of Texas Pete Pepper Sauce? If so, I like them, too - spicy little devils.
 
I'm not a huge grilled fish fan but mackerel is one that I like. Phenomenal plate...

I am however a huge fan of PSB and you nailed it again...why wouldn't you though since you created it? Love that recipe!

What the Cap'n said about the fish.

Funny about the King Mackeral......I grew up in NC catching them and love them anyway you cook them. I asked the guy at Harris Teeter if he had any frozen in cryo......he said they came in fresh and nobody around here knows what they are......wish I had bought more but Scotty keeps a tight hand on the billfold.......
 
I think down at Corpus we had Spainish Mackerals. I guess cuz it closer to Spain or boys town etc. I tried making Salmon patties out of Jack Mackeral a few times. Its a lot cheaper but not as tasty as salmon. Now where Jack hails from I aint sure. China most likely.
 
Here's a pic of a king mackeral my wife caught when we were in New Zealand. I got skunked.

You sure that is a King Mack Griff? Sure looks like a yellowtail to me. Either way, food looks great. Grilling a fish with as much natural oil in it as Makerel takes a skilled hand. Good job. Any flare ups?
 
Well, the charter cap'n called it a kingfish, and when I questioned him further, he said "they call 'em king mackeral in the States." Personally, beyond that I have no clue.

Looks like you had a successful trip either way. I bet your wife got a good workout hauling that guy in! Nice work. And your sig. could not be more spot on!

Nice looking fish ! Fun..... Did you get to eat it?
 
Griff that's either a Yellowtail like Crabnass said or an Amberjack, not a king mackeral. I'm thinking more with Crabnass though. If you take me to New Zealand the next time you go I will confirm for sure.

Here's a king mackeral.
