When making salmon patties, sometimes one can of salmon will not make enough for my needs. Instead of buying another can of salmon, I mix in a can of jack mackerel (right next to tuna and salmon at the grocery). Jack mackerel is about $1 or $2 cheaper and works just at well. Also, I crush up the bones in both and it gives healthy calcium to the dish.

I haven't seen makerel in the stores in years but it's ok with me. I would rather stretch my salmon with bread and eggs than open a can of smelly makerel in my house.
