King Mackerel

Looking for fresh mackerel for sale? King mackerel is very common in the winter months in Key West. It is rich in omega-3 oils.

It is also one of the main ingredients in most of the fish dip we sell.  King Mackerel has a rich flavor and an oilier consistency, which lends itself perfectly to the smoking process.

That’s also why it’s one of the healthiest eating fish- it’s filled with Omega-3 oils.  Also, one serving of King Mackerel has over 20 grams of protein and only 105 calories.

Here in Key West, King Mackerel are harvested sustainably by our commercial fishermen and divers.  These fish grow relatively fast and often live more than 20 years.  However, they can reproduce when they’re only 2…making this a perfect sustainable eating fish.

King Mackerel has limited availability due to the season closing each year.

Seasoned fillets can be grilled on medium heat in a closed grill. If you like, you can poach them with lemon juice or turn them into fish cakes that are identical to crab cakes.
