I ordered a grilled mackeral and found it had bones in it once I started eating it. It honestly ruined my desire to eat it.
Yeah.
I can't eat sardines due to sensory issues. If I'm aware I can manage mackerel, removing most bones on my plate and handle those I miss (I won't enjoy this extra work, though). But if I suddenly get a mouthful with many bones, it will ruin my meal as well.
