Jack mackerel is a fish that lives right in our backyard of Monterey Bay and all along the Eastern Pacific. This fish is silvery in color with spines along its dorsal (top) side. Its taste is similar to a sardine and its firm, oily meat makes for a perfect barbecued dish!

Jack mackerel is a local treasure from the Monterey Bay and Eastern Pacific that you might want to give a try. You'll spot it easily with its sleek, silvery body and the spines along its back. If you're a fan of sardines, you'll appreciate the similar flavor, though Jack mackerel brings its own unique twist. Its meat is firm and oily, which makes it particularly enjoyable when barbecued. For cooking, Jack mackerel's robust flesh means it holds up well on the grill. You can go for whole fish or fillets, depending on your preference. A simple seasoning approach works best—think a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of salt, and maybe some fresh herbs like dill or parsley to highlight its natural flavors. Not only do you get to enjoy a tasty meal, but you're also supporting our local fishing community and sustainable practices. So, whether you're a seafood newbie or a seasoned cook, Jack mackerel is a solid pick that's both easy to prepare and enjoy. Next time you're at our market, swing by and pick up a few!
