Imagine how only four-ounce fillet of Atlantic mackerel can boost your health with an important amount of omega-3 fatty acids, 20 grams of high quality-protein, and about 232 calories.
Interestingly, this species is generally a healthy population. They can endure heavy and higher levels of fishing due to the fact that they can significantly and rapidly reproduce and repopulate.

According to EDF recommendations, it would be better for you to avoid consuming the Spanish and king species of mackerel because they are found to be potentially contaminated with mercury. Therefore, it is better to opt for Atlantic mackerel, which is said to be caught in a more efficient and less destructive manner using a fishing purse seine.
