actually i think the tiger striped mackerel are Atlantic mackerel

EDIT..... The chub mackerel, Scomber japonicus, also known as the Pacific mackerel or blue mackerel and sometimes referred to as a "hardhead" or "bullseye", closely resembles the Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus)

doh!!!!!

slimier so they slide down easy and they don't poke ya with their spiney dorsal.

The Spanish have big, "deer in the headlights" eyes and spiny dorsal fins. Greenies are smoother, slimy and more mackerel-ish.
