| A 9 ounce 11 inch scad will get you about 4 ounces of fillet, but why bother? You have to pick out pin bones down the centerline of the fillet so it's more trouble than filleting a much larger fish. Better to bake or broil whole, same as for a whole small mackerel. If you do fillet a scad and pan fry fillets or a whole fish, apply at least a dusting of rice flour or it'll stick to the pan. |
