About Fish, mackerel, spanish, cooked, dry heat

Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus) is a sleek, fast-swimming saltwater fish from the warm Atlantic and Gulf coasts, marked by golden-yellow spots along its silvery sides. Smaller and milder than king mackerel, it is an oily fish with moist, flavorful, slightly sweet flesh that grills and smokes beautifully. It is an excellent source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, quality protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium, while being lower in mercury than its larger relatives.

Spanish mackerel is delicious grilled, broiled, pan-seared, smoked, or cured, and its rich flavor pairs well with citrus, garlic, and herbs that cut through the oil. It is a prized catch among recreational anglers along the southeastern United States. Because oily fish spoils quickly, choose fish with bright eyes, firm flesh, and a clean sea smell, and cook or refrigerate it right away.
