King mackerel are a prized gamefish along warm southern saltwater coasts due to their fighting ability and the fact that they come right up to the beach. Both boat and pier anglers love to grapple with king mackerel, and there are many tournaments held this time of the year.
King mackerel are also a very tasty fish if prepared correctly. They can be steaked and grilled, as well as broiled, baked, and fried.
