Mackerel
Fish & Seafood
Seasonal
♆
Neptune
Mackerel peaks from July to September.
This vibrant oily fish is at its prime during the summer when its fat content is highest, providing a rich, distinct flavor and succulent texture. While mackerel can be found year-round, the summer catch offers the best quality. From a sustainability standpoint, it is a resilient choice; however, choosing fish caught by traditional line or pole methods helps ensure that local stocks remain healthy and minimizes the impact on the wider marine environment.
