About Mackerel scad

Mackerel Scad, also known as "Decapterus macarellus," is a small tropical fish commonly found in Pacific and Indian Ocean waters. Prized in Hawaiian and Southeast Asian cuisines, this versatile fish is often grilled, fried, or used fresh in dishes like poke or stews. Mackerel Scad is rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12, supporting heart health, brain function, and overall cellular health. Additionally, it contains significant levels of selenium and phosphorus, which contribute to immune system and bone health. While it is a nutritious choice, its moderate fat content means portion control is important for balanced diets. Known for its mild yet slightly oily flavor, Mackerel Scad is a sustainable seafood option and an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious addition to their meals without compromising on taste.
