About Spanish mackerel

Spanish mackerel is a common name for a mackerel-type marine fish, used as food in fresh, frozen, or preserved forms. The name can refer to different related fish depending on local usage, so it does not establish a single species. It may be sold whole, in portions, or as fillets.

Its flesh is generally encountered cooked by methods such as grilling, baking, or frying, and may also be canned or otherwise preserved. Appearance, flavour, and texture vary with the fish meant by the name and with freshness and processing; no single preparation or taste profile is implied.
