About Jack mackerel

Jack mackerel is a common name for a group of marine fish, rather than a uniquely identified species in this catalogue entry. The exact fish intended can vary by region and naming practice, and the record does not specify a species or whether the product is fresh or preserved.

As food, it may be encountered as a whole fish, fillet, or processed product and can be cooked in different ways. Flesh colour, firmness, flavour, and fat content vary with species, size, handling, and preparation.
