Atlantic Mackerel, Raw
Atlantic mackerel is a fatty saltwater fish native to the North Atlantic, recognized by its iridescent blue-green stripes and rich, oily flesh. This cold-water species provides exceptionally high levels of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), along with significant amounts of selenium and vitamin B12. While commonly consumed raw in sushi or cured preparations, its perishable nature requires immediate refrigeration or freezing to maintain freshness. Unlike larger mackerel species, Atlantic mackerel is considered a sustainable choice with lower mercury contamination.
