Product Details

Light Catch Jack Mackerel

Light catch jack mackerel (Trachurus japonicus), also known as horse mackerel, is a premium wild-caught fish sourced from the pristine coastal waters of the Western Pacific. Featuring a streamlined, silvery body with a distinct blue-green back and firm, succulent flesh, it is carefully harvested using light-catch methods to ensure minimal stress and superior freshness. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, and essential vitamins, this moderately oily fish offers a mild, clean flavor ideal for grilling, baking, frying, or smoking. Flash-frozen at sea (BQF) to lock in nutrients and taste, it is available in various sizes (10–20 cm) and packed in 20kg cartons, making it perfect for both commercial and household use.
