About Makerel
Mackerel is a nutrient-rich, oily fish common in global cuisines, particularly in Mediterranean, Japanese, and Nordic dishes. Known for its bold flavor, it features tender, flaky flesh and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. Mackerel is also an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamin D, selenium, and B vitamins, making it a powerhouse for energy metabolism and immune support. Its natural oils promote healthy skin and reduce inflammation. However, certain types of mackerel, such as king mackerel, may contain higher levels of mercury, so consumption should be moderated, especially for children and pregnant individuals. Opting for smaller species like Atlantic or Pacific mackerel can reduce this concern. Its versatile culinary uses include grilling, smoking, canning, or marinating, offering both robust flavor and significant health benefits when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
