FROZEN MACKEREL FISH 1kg

Description

This 1kg pack of frozen Mackerel offers a robust and highly nutritious option for your seafood needs. Mackerel, encompassing species like Atlantic Mackerel or Spanish Mackerel, is a highly prized oily fish celebrated globally for its distinctive rich flavor, firm texture, and exceptional health benefits. It’s a cornerstone in many coastal cuisines, particularly in European, Asian, and African culinary traditions.

Our Mackerel is typically sourced from abundant wild catches in cold, clean waters, often from sustainably managed fisheries. Each fish is carefully handled, cleaned, and then flash-frozen shortly after harvesting. This rapid freezing process is vital for locking in the fish’s natural freshness, its characteristic flavor, and its dense nutritional content, ensuring that you receive a high-quality product that retains its integrity upon thawing. The fish may be presented whole (often head-on and gutted for convenience) or as convenient fillets or steaks.

Mackerel boasts a strong, savory, and rich flavor, often described as “umami” due to its high fat content and unique taste profile. Its flesh is dark, firm, and moist, making it incredibly resilient and flavorful when cooked. Nutritionally, Mackerel is a true superfood. It’s an outstanding source of high-quality lean protein, essential for muscle health. Most notably, it is exceptionally rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which are crucial for cardiovascular health, brain function, reducing inflammation, and supporting eye health. Beyond Omega-3s, Mackerel also provides significant amounts of Vitamin D (essential for bone health and immunity), Vitamin B12 (for nerve function and energy), and minerals like selenium, phosphorus, and iodine.
