Mackerel

Mackerel is a sea fish with dark, oily flesh and a bold, intense flavor. It ranks among the most nutritious fish due to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and protein. In the kitchen it is most commonly prepared by smoking, grilling, or baking. Smoked mackerel is a popular ingredient in spreads, salads, and pâtés. Fresh mackerel pairs well with lemon-based sauces, herbs, or mustard. It is an affordable and highly nutritious alternative to more expensive fish such as salmon.
