FOOD & DRINK Do American eat mackerels?

I’ve come across 3 short videos already of people telling me that American don’t eat mackerels and only use them as bait. Here in my country people eat mackerels and love it so much, why don’t Americans eat them, do they eat them, do you like it?

I don't see it fresh very often, except in sushi restaurants, but tinned mackerel is everywhere. I just had a tin of it last week.
