Mackerel is the name for over 30 species of pelagic, or midwater-dwelling fish, belonging to the Scombridae family. Their strength in flavour is often compared to salmon, where simple seasoning is often recommended to allow the flavour of the fish to shine. Mackerel is an oily fish, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, highly valued in the human diet. Before the 19th Century development of canning and refrigeration, salting and smoking were the main preservation methods and remain common. (Marine Stewardship Council)
