ABOUT MACKEREL
The Atlantic mackerel is easily recognized by its round, beautifully streamlined body, filled with irregular bands of metallic green and blue along the back. This fast swimming fish have to move constantly as they “breathe” by a method known as ram ventilation, which requires a constant flow of water across the gill surfaces.
