"I smoke mackrel"says the painted sign on a town centre back door. Who or what is Mackrel I wonder? Any ideas anyone?

  1. Its probably a bit obvious Bob but here in Teignmouth, Devon we have several small firms who have smoking houses for several types of fish including Mackeral,mind as an ex-taxi man I doubt its that.

  2. mackeral is a fish, quite tasty when smoked. I've had smoked mackeral as well as smoked chad. chad I found is a bit too boney for my liking. but living in the maritimes like I do, you grow up around sea food.

  3. Cans of smoked, and otherwise, mackerel (correct spelling) are right next to the tuna fish in most grocery stores
