The catch

Because mackerel is an oily fish, one can carries 4 grams of saturated fat and 95 mg of cholesterol, making it richer than canned tuna. (source)

The honest take

Wild Planet Wild Pacific Mackerel is about as clean as canned fish gets, with an ingredient list of just mackerel and sea salt and 31 grams of protein in the 5 ounce can. You also get roughly 1,690 mg of EPA and DHA omega 3s per can, which is more than most canned tuna delivers, so it is a real way to get fish oil from food instead of a pill. The honest tradeoff is that mackerel is a naturally oily fish, so the same can carries 4 grams of saturated fat and 95 mg of cholesterol, and the flavor runs stronger and fishier than tuna. For a health minded shopper who wants omega 3s and a short ingredient list, it is a genuinely good pantry staple.
