The Story

It's widely available throughout the year and cheap compared to other fish such as Dorada. This is, in my opinion the tastiest fish you can eat! Spanish Mackerels are also one of the richest sources for Omega-3 fatty acids. These are the polyunsaturated fatty acids with huge health benefits. They are easily filleted and excellent eating baked, broiled, steamed, smoked, poached, or fried.
