The year flashes before our eyes and another round of impossible resolutions invade our thoughts. I'm gonna work less than 80 hours a week, I'm gonna stop eating lemon merengue bon-bons at 4am, I'm gonna stop biting my co-workers when they piss me off...

| Strive to be more like Peg Bundy in 2012. |
These are impossible resolutions! Get over it and resolve to accomplish something you can really stick with this year:
Include more sustainable seafood species in your menu.
SO, what fishery is local, in season and not desecrating the environment?
THE EASTERN ATLANTIC MACKEREL FISHERY OF COURSE!
 |
| They shine like silver and are stiff as a board when they are fresh. |
Not only are the Atlantic Mackerels NOT being overfished, their population estimates are currently 267% OVER target level. For those of you who suck at math, allow me to clarify: That is A SHITLOAD!
 |
| According to my calculations, it's a shitload. |
These incredible Mackerels are usually caught with mid-water trawl gear. The nets used to harvest macks do not touch the ocean floor and hence are not MURDER-Y to beloved underwater habitats that many other fish species call home.
Boston Macks are cheap and easy, making them Fish-Babe approved. You can serve 'em raw or cook 'em whole (about 3-4 macks per #).
If you get bored, put these suckers into your pipe and smoke 'em!
Literally. Smoke the Mackerel, it's delicious.

| Smoke Mack with your Mother. Boston Mackerels are absurdly high in omega-3's, they also contain so much vitamin B12 it's stupid. Mackerels provide us with significant levels of Phosphatidylserine, a wicked important brain food that can have positive effects on both ADHD and Alzheimers patients. I should take my own advice and eat more macky-mack...NOW WHERE WAS I? Oh yeah, Mackerels... Now buy 'em and fry 'em. Good luck and may the cash flow like the beer in 2012! HAPPY NEW YEAR! |
