Mackerel

If you frequent sushi bars, you may know it as saba fish. You may have also unknowingly passed by it in the grocery store, sitting right next to the canned anchovies and sardines. Mackerel is a family of saltwater fish composed of over 30 different species, including popular varieties like Atlantic mackerel, Pacific mackerel, Spanish mackerel and king mackerel fish.

Available both fresh and canned, mackerel is a favorite among fish lovers thanks to its versatility, flavor and incredible nutrient profile. Plus, with some research indicating that regular consumption could help drop your blood pressure and cholesterol, minimize your waistline, protect against depression, and keep your bones healthy and strong, mackerel fish definitely makes a great addition to any healthy, well-balanced diet.

Mackerel from Norway is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world. It is a lively fish with juicy meat that is a great source of omega-3. The highest mackerel concentrations are to be found south-east of the Shetland Isles, the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea including Skagerrak.
