If ever there was an add for having a sharp knife that would have to be it. I see safety is a big thing at his work place, no chain mail glove no apron and he still has all his fingers and thumbs. great piece video
its the fishing industry (no safety inspestors 80k of shore) not the mining industry where you need a permit to work, jsa ,confined space permit and an offsider to go for a dump in the dunny
Pretty sure thats the boys on the Mackerel boat that runs from Broome. Same guys here, pretty mad! I'm stoked if i get my couple of Mac's all year! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncLJdhCOxzI
As far as filleting Mackerel goes, I've always found filleting a side off pretty easy (nowhere near as easy as the guys in the video I must add) but skinning them a pain in the backside!
Last year I got some great advice in regard to filleting/skinning mackerel and while I don't catch them often, it makes the whole process heaps easier and faster.
Here's the advice I got... Fillet a side, cut it in half horizontally and remove the lateral bloodline/bone sections while you're doing it. Once you have your two long fillets from a side, forget about trying to skin the whole thing. Take one, start at the tail and come in an inch or so (whatever thickness you want your fillets to be). On a flat surface, cut straight down till you hit the skin, then run the knife back towards the tail, skimming the skin as you go. Repeat the process, down at a fillet's width, then back towards the tail, etc, etc.
No doubt many already know this technique but if you are like me and consider yourself a reasonable filleter of fish but have always been frustrated by the skin on mackerel, give it a go, you'll be amazed at how easy it makes the process.

Was having a beer with his dinghy guys and they were talking about the magic mack a minute barrier. They are out for an hour at a time in the tenders before they come back to offload and I think the record was about 57 macks in the hour. They all had been up in the 50's on multiple occasions.

I assume this is the one you're referring to.
He's certainly got that down to a fine art.
