About Atlantic mackerel

Atlantic mackerel is an oily marine fish with a streamlined body and firm, richly flavoured flesh. Raw flesh is pale with darker muscle near the skin; cooked fish is moist and savoury. It is sold whole, as fillets or in portions, and may be available fresh, frozen, smoked or canned.

The fish is commonly grilled, baked, pan-cooked or preserved. Its bold flavour and relatively delicate flesh make freshness and handling notable qualities. Canned and smoked mackerel are distinct processed forms rather than interchangeable descriptions of fresh fish; whole fish may also include edible tissues not present in a trimmed fillet.
