It appears that my username is kinda fitting
Anyway, I did done that "kill it, cook it, eat it", just to be a real man.

Went to the rocks on the North Coast of Scotland, fishing gear in tow. After a whole afternoon of fruitless hoping, on the LAST CAST of the day, somehow against all the odds I caught two mackerel.

I was initially using kind of rubber fake fish with smelly oily stuff as bait, but this proved feckless. Having caught a small sandeel previously, I went at the poor wee critter with a rusty pocket knife. Killing is strange.

The mackerel were dashed headfirst against the nearest rock. Little did I anticipate "sprayback' from the ordeal.

Fried up the fillets with a nice bit of butter, salt and pepper. Truly fresh and delicious.

Incidentally I'm now vegetarian (unrelated)
