About Fish, mackerel, Atlantic, cooked, dry heat
Mackerel is a strong-flavored oily fish with rich, dark, full-tasting flesh — a world away from mild white fish like cod. That richness is exactly why it's so good for you, and why it stands up so well to bold treatments like smoking, grilling and pickling.
It's one of the very best sources of long-chain omega-3 fats, alongside outstanding amounts of vitamin D and vitamin B12, plus high-quality protein and selenium. Atlantic mackerel in particular is low in mercury, making it one of the oily fish health bodies actively encourage.
If salmon is the gateway oily fish, mackerel is the one for people who've come to love a stronger, more savory flavor — and it's often cheaper, too.
