We love salmon patties at my house. I’m usually cooking for 3 so I make two cans at a time and we end up with a couple left over.
I’m trying to find ways to save a little money without giving up our favorite meals. Mackerel is a bit cheaper. I thought of it today out of nowhere when I remembered it’s what my grandma used.
I liked it then but not sure I still will since I’m not used to it after all these years. I don’t remember if it tastes any different than canned salmon. So, I’m worried my kids will tell the difference and not like it.
Have you tried this? What are your thoughts on the difference in taste and quality? Is it worth the money saved?

Buy one can and try it for lunch. Tuna patties are a thing so I don’t see why mackerel patties wouldn’t work in their place. Mackerel are closely related to tuna but have a less distinctive flavor and slightly higher fat content. I always made salmon patties with capers and if you do to just adding a few more might make the difference.
