Never heard of the 'Mackerel Sweats' - sounds more like a possible excuse for a hangover.

I'd be more worried about over-dosing on MacDonalds than MacKerel.

You should make a youtube video Dry Fly Fishing - Super Mackerel Size Me - on teh perils of scoffing too many of them.

BTW after the first few meals of them after they arrive they become very sickening and mundane to the taste buds.

yea they become sickening as your body is telling you that you are eating too much oil....

but if you want to get the sweats keep on eating them

my grandad got his wife to steap the mackerel in still boiling water to get some of the oil out... before frying and then he scoffed a few plate fulls... this went on every summer for a month ....

if you get the oil out you can eat more... and itch..

The same happens when eating swans, very oily birds and don't mention dolphin you'll be sweating like Christy Moore after too many flipper burgers. :eek:

always wanted to eat a swan... not joking.. if the queen of England has one on her table at Christmas i want one to. I wonder does she still have a swan for Christmas on the table... i think by law she is the only one allowed

must say though there are alot of queens in ireland with all the swans going missing lets not forget about the ducks...

I believe - correct me if I'm wrong - that there is a law in the UK that all swans there belong to her.

Here they just tell us some ****e about them being the children of lear so that we won't eat them.

I wouldn't eat them myself, penguins are much tastier.

with bird flue still around and if you catch it your most likely dead, i gave up shooting birds...

i dont take much heed to english law only that they screwed with our pub opening hours and our goverment still has not changed it back to all hours lol....

a well lets not talk about the irish heads of sheep...
