Our Atlantic mackerel are caught in the Bay of Biscay, in northern Spain, where the fish gather in large schools. Small family fishing boats use a technique that’s been passed down for generations: They wrap red wool around the top of each hook, to mimic the tiny crustaceans that mackerel love. This method requires no live bait, results in little to no bycatch, and produces better-quality fish, since the mackerel are never crushed at the bottom of a net.

Eating Atlantic mackerel, a small, schooling fish, takes pressure off larger, less-abundant species like tuna. Although Atlantic mackerel are little, they’re packed with protein, vitamin B-12, and other vital nutrients that have multiple health benefits. Better yet, they don’t have the high levels of toxins often found in larger apex-predator fish like tuna and swordfish, making them safer to eat.
