Iâm Dick Bolles. This is my site, and itâs designed to be a complement and supplement to my book, What Color Is Your Parachute: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters & Career-Changers, revised and rewritten each year, each new edition appearing in bookstores in mid-August. That would be the 2015 edition currently.

King mackerel (kingfish): Similar in taste to Atlantic and Pacific mackerel, king mackerel has a firm texture and a rich, savory flavor. Pacific mackerel (chub, blue): These are similar both in flavor and in texture to Boston mackerel.
Kings must measure 24 inches. A mature, reproductive fish measures 28 inches (71 cm) and is usually two to three years old. king mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla) are believed to live up to 26 years and are capable of growing to 5 1/2 feet (167 cm) long and weighing 100 pounds (45 kg).
