About Fish, mackerel, jack, canned, drained solids
The Pacific jack mackerel (Trachurus symmetricus) is a schooling, oily fish of the eastern Pacific, ranging from Alaska down to the Gulf of California. A member of the jack family rather than the true mackerels, it travels in vast schools far offshore and has long been an affordable staple, sold fresh, smoked, or canned. The rich, full-flavored flesh runs darker and oilier than white fish, which makes it a standout source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids along with plenty of protein, vitamin D, and vitamin B12.
Its bold taste stands up to grilling, broiling, and the assertive seasonings of Japanese and Latin American kitchens, where jack mackerel, or aji, is a familiar catch. Canned versions work much like sardines, ready for salads, tacos, or a quick weeknight patty. Because oily fish spoils quickly, buy it bright-eyed and firm, keep it well chilled, and cook it soon after you get it home.
