of course, mackerell is very suitable for this kind of cooking. its a good start even for sushi, i suggest to freeze for 2days before curing to kill anisakis if present. if you dont like sushi, you can still cook after curing for 2 minutes at side in a pan or grill.

ummm not sure with other fish!!! but def works with herring!!

No please, DON'T. Mackerel is great as filet and the grilled or smoke them. Never try to pickle them like herring. The taste of mackerel and their texture will ruin the fish if you pickle them.
