Well I looked around after catching my king and sort of improvised my own recipe. It went like this:
First right after catching them I cut them into steaks by cutting about 2" sections right through the back bone. (This was after removing the guts).
I threw that in a chipotle lime marinade I watered down a little to cover all of the meat and then went to work. Apparently a lot of king recipies say lime helps with the oily part of the fish, and that was the only remotely lime thing I had, so good enough I figured.
When I got home I cut the lobes off the bones and ended up with about a caserole dish full of king meat.
I then cut up a lemon into very thin slices and spread the slices out over every couple of pieces.
I did the same with a few cloves of garlic and a yellow bell pepper.
I also threw on about 2 green onions. I would use real onions, but my wife doesn't really like them.
From there I added a little salt & pepper
Lastly I cut up a stick of butter and spread the pieces out on top.
From there I threw it in the broiler with the oven door slightly open.
I cooked it for about 15 min.
It came out really good! My wife said the best fish she had tasted, and nothing like what you would expect. I think there were a few keys: it was fresh, I got it into the fridge pretty quick after catching, and the ~6 hours of being in the marinade. I would definitely say don't be shy about trying king. It was really easy to clean (although quite a lot of meat) and came out as good if not better than a lot of stuff you would get at a restaurant.
The left over pieces, I crumbled up and pretty much made them like you'd make tuna, with a little Texas Pete thrown in for some kick.
Just Google king dip and you'll see a bunch of recipes that pretty much have the same general idea and tailor it to your tastes.
(I'd use lime to do it again, but my wife didn't really know what I was going to end up doing with it and just got the normal "fish cooking stuff") Lemon was awesome and worked fine though.
Enjoy

This is NOT Ms Pat's Mac Salad, but it is pretty damned good anyway!
1. Put about three quarts of water in a big pot and add 1/2 cup of Old Bay Seafood Boil, two tablespoons of garlic salt, and two tablespoons of black pepper.
2. Bring to a boil, and put about three pounds of mackerel fillets in the pot. (King or Spanish, skinned and all the red meat cut out.) Boil for about thirty minutes, and then turn the heat off and let the water cool to room temp with the fish still in the pot. Drain off the water, dry the fish with paper towels, and put the fish in a sealed container and refrigerate for an hour or so.
3. Dice up one white onion, one green pepper, two jalapeno peppers, and four green onions. Break up the fish using your (clean!) hands or a large fork until it is flaky and the chunks are gone. Add the diced veggies.
4. Add 3/4 cup of Miracle Whip dressing (or Mayo), 3/4 cup of sweet pickle relish, 1/4 cup of Ranch dressing, two tablespoons of horse radish, one tablespoon of Old Bay, and a liberal sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Mix all together and refrigerate overnight or as long as you can stand to leave it alone.
5. Get a box of Ritz crackers and your favorite cold drink, and ENJOY!!
trying this one tonight
