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.
Once cooked the color is white, and the texture is soft, moist, and flaky. Like Spanish mackerel (see below), jack have a sweet, mild flavor. Jack mackerel is commonly canned. 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.
King mackerel commonly occur in depths of 12â45 m (40â150 ft), where the principal fisheries occur. Larger kings (heavier than 9 kg or 20 lb) often occur inshore, in the mouths of inlets and harbors, and occasionally even at the 180 m (590 ft) depths at the edge of the Gulf Stream.
