Set atop a bed of packed crushed ice, were these freshly caught Atlantic Spanish mackerel, Scomberomorus maculatus, which had been gutted, their scales removed, and cleaned, and made ready for consumer purchase. Nutritionally, mackerel is low in its sodium (Na) content, and makes for a terrific source of protein, as well as niacin, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium. The problem is that it contains a high level of cholesterol, as well. Mackerel are saltwater fish, found in the temperate and tropical seas.
