In La Salle, IL, I don’t find fresh, whole Boston mackerel to broil or bake as comfort food, so I use Jack Mackerel, often eating it out of the can with vinegar/salt or KC BBQ sauce. Yum!
Save-A-Lot has discontinued it, Wal-Mart has it. ($1.76 Bumble Bee [product of Chile]) Look hard, it only has 2 facings at the end of a shelf, but there’s 23 kinds of tuna & salmon!!
Aldi has SeaNet label–WILD CAUGHT vs. farm-raised ($1.29 [product of Thailand])
My feeling is that it’s a matter of salability or profitability – if Wally World can get it, so can your local store’s supplier. It also could be weather-related suply & demand, but I doubt it.
Good Luck, all!

Ah yes, ye olde Aldi’s! How I miss it! It’s rather hit or miss over here in Cali.

I can find it in many stores around here, South suburbs of Chicago. Also found it out West in Mendota, IL. Seemingly, most of your discount type of stores have it like Walmart, Save-A-Lot, Food 4 Less, Aldi, etc.
