About Kingfish

Kingfish, also known as king mackerel, is a popular saltwater fish prized for its firm texture and bold flavor. Commonly found in Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Southern cuisines, this oily fish is often grilled, smoked, or prepared in stews. Nutritionally, kingfish is a rich source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B6 and B12, which support heart and brain health. With its high selenium content, it also offers antioxidant benefits. However, due to its position as a predatory fish, kingfish may have elevated levels of mercury, making moderation important, especially for pregnant individuals and children. Despite this, its robust nutritional profile makes kingfish a flavorful and beneficial choice for many diets when consumed responsibly.
