Mackerel is an oily type of coldwater fish that can be eaten canned or fresh. It is enjoyed by many people and known especially for its nutritional benefits, such as omega-3 fatty acids.
Calories
There are 230 calories in a 3-ounce serving of mackerel fish provided that it is cooked in dry heat without any added butter, oil or sauces (see Reference 1). Even though mackerel is high in fat and considered to be a fatty fish, a filet still has fewer calories than beef and some other meats.
Fat
Mackerel fish has 15.7g of fat in each 3-ounce serving. That makes mackerel considerably higher in fat than white meat chicken or turkey or lean fish such as tilapia. Just because mackerel is high in fat, however, does not mean it is unhealthy. The type of fat in mackerel is unsaturated, which is healthy for the heart.
Protein
Each 3-ounce filet of mackerel has 21g of protein. Therefore mackerel is a good food choice for anyone who requires a lot of protein, such as body builders, endurance athletes or people with healing wounds.
Carbohydrate
There are no carbohydrates in mackerel fish, so it is a perfect choice for people on a high-protein or low-carbohydrate diet. Fish do not have any carbohydrates when prepared in dry heat— they only have carbohydrates when sauces or marinades are added.
Essential Fatty Acid
Mackerel fish contains the omega fatty acids EPA, DHA and ALA, all of which are good for brain growth and protection. In fact, the omega-3 fatty acids found in mackerel can actually help to reduce a person’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (see Reference 2).
