What happens if you swallow mackerel bones?!


Question: What happens if you swallow mackerel bones?
I mean the little ones that are left if you fillet it and pan-fry it. How easy is it for them to get stuck in the throat and would mackerel cooked this way be unsafe for children to eat?

Thanks in advance.

Answers:

Take my advice and flake the fish carefully, so that children do not get any of the bones, however fine you think they are. Even though they will not do anything worse than tickle their throats on the way down, I must tell you I was put off eating fish for many years when I was a kid, because what is a small, fine bone to an adult was quite off-putting and disgusting in my child-sized mouth! And once I gagged on the mouthful of fish, that was it... No more fish for about 10 years! Your kids may not be a mardy, but better be safe than sorry!

The best thing to do is mash the fish into potatoes and make fish patties. Filling and nutritious and (most important) no off-putting bones.

YMMV



I hd that happen when I was 7, it stuck the I sneezed and it was out.
No worries, it's cartilage, it can be digested up, if not, pooped out.

Mackerel is a very big boned fish, the bone part looks like a cartoon fish bone, so it's one of the lesser dangerous ones to eat.



Once in your stomach or intestine, you will need to have the doctor cut you open and remove it.

A guy from work swallowed a fish bone, and had to have it removed with surgery.



You **** em out.



Nothing. If they are too large u will choke but the smaller bones will digest.
