Available year-round due to processing, but fresh mackerel peaks from late spring to autumn. No specific spawning closures impact smoked product availability.
Many smoked mackerel products are MSC certified, indicating healthy stocks and sustainable fishing practices. Buyers should prioritise certified sources.
Versatile in salads, pâtés, and sandwiches. Popular for its rich flavour and often served flaked or as fillets in UK cuisine.
Significant processing occurs in Scotland and Cornwall. A staple in retail, foodservice, and a valuable export commodity for the UK and Ireland.
