The catch

Each can carries 420mg of sodium, about 18 percent of the daily value, so it is not a low sodium option. (source)

The honest take

This is about as clean as tinned fish gets, with a four ingredient label of smoked mackerel, organic extra virgin olive oil, water, and sea salt, so no seed oils and no fillers. One can is a single serving that packs 22g of protein and 1,013mg of EPA and DHA omega 3s for just 140 calories and zero sugar. Mackerel sits low on the food chain, which tends to mean lower mercury than big predatory fish, and health minded shoppers reach for it as an affordable, shelf stable way to hit protein and omega 3 targets. The one thing to watch is sodium at 420mg per can.
