Holy Mackerel—Wild Planet Releases Wild Mackerel Fillets

Boneless, Skinless, Sustainably-Fished Mackerel with no Additives or Preservatives

Wild Planet Foods, leading provider of sustainable seafood, is proud to introduce its new Wild Mackerel Fillets. Canned using only mackerel, organic extra virgin olive oil, water and sea salt, these Wild Mackerel Fillets can be enjoyed on your favorite cracker, used as you would use tuna, or eaten directly out of the can!

​Wild Planet’s skinless and boneless Wild Mackerel Fillets are delicately textured with somewhat of a tuna flavor. Packed with 13 grams of protein and only 100 calories per serving, this fish is an outstanding source of both iron and Omega 3. In addition, because Mackerel is an underutilized species and is relatively low on the food chain, it is considered one of the best choices in terms of sustainability.

Wild Planet sources this wild, superabundant North Pacific fish with single-species targeted purse seine fishing — without the use of FADs (Fish Aggregating Devices).

"We want to provide our customers with more sustainable options that go beyond traditional seafood staples like tuna, salmon and shrimp," said Wild Planet Foods’ Founder Bill Carvalho. "Since mackerel is one of the healthiest and most sustainable fish in the ocean, it was definitely a clear choice."
