Mackerel fillet

Mackerel fillet is a clean, boneless cut from the fish known as mackerel, a bluefish with an elongated body and intense flavor. This fillet is obtained by separating the mackerel's flesh from the central backbone and side bones, providing a practical and easy-to-cook portion.

Mackerel is a fish originating primarily from the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea, although it is also found in temperate waters of other regions. It is highly valued in gastronomy for its soft texture and its firm, slightly fatty flavor, making it ideal for preparations such as grilling, baking, marinating, or stewing.

Among its properties, its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote cardiovascular health, stands out. Furthermore, it is a rich source of high-quality proteins, B vitamins (especially B12), and minerals such as selenium and phosphorus, making it a nutritious and healthy ingredient.

In different Latin American countries, mackerel is also known as "macarela", "caballito", or simply "caballa". The term mackerel fillet specifically refers to the cleaned and ready-to-cook portion, widely used in practical and quick recipes.

This ingredient is ideal for those looking to add bluefish to their dishes, providing flavor and health benefits in various culinary preparations.
