Italian Language edit
In italian is scombro and sgombro https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scomber_scombrus — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.148.218.167 (talk) 14:43, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
Size edit
I just removed this: "The largest species called "mackerel" is the king mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla) which can grow to 66 inches (1.68 m)." which is plainly untrue if the Spanish Mackerel can grow to 2.40m according to fishbase, or am I missing something?+|||||||||||||||||||||||||+ (talk) 05:50, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Holy Mackerel? edit
I'd like to see something about the exclamation "Holy Mackerel!" in this article, but am not sure how appropriate it would be. Suggestions/comments? Nihiltres 16:07, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
harbinger of spring? edit
Is mackerel seen as fish that announces the arrival of spring in UK? And how is it typically cooked to be eaten in the West?
I would appreciate your input.
Word puzzle part edit
Wisconsin shares a "c" with mackerel.
Undid blanking of page edit
It seems that some school kid in Canada decided to blank the page. Their IP address has vandalized many pages before. If only I knew more about Wikipedia I'd notify someone who could do something about it. HunterZero 16:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Relation to London Underground edit
This article should contain some reference to the cultural significance of the word mackerel to the London Underground, as described in the [St. John's Wood tube station] article. Any objections? Royshearer (talk) 23:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Mackerel "is", or mackerel "are"? edit
It can't be both. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.158.106.168 (talk) 11:33, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
This is poor classification edit
Is this article about the species mackerel (scomber scombrus), the mackerel family (scombridae) or any regional names for species of fish that has "mackerel" in it? Mackerel as a species deserves it's own article. It is so important that when europeans emigrated or travelled, they named a number of different species that resembled it a bit after it. No other species is called solely mackerel, so the article should be merged with the superfluous article "atlantic mackerel" No one but americans calls it "atlantic mackerel", it's just mackerel.
I'm working on fixing up the disambiguation page Sawara, and looking into things it seems like by far the most common usage of the term is on sushi menus to refer to mackerel. Would it be appropriate for Sawara to redirect here with a disambiguation notifier and to rename the existing page to Sawara (disambiguation)? Fuzzyjammies (talk) 18:22, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
