Mackerel are prized (and are highly harvested) for their meat, which is often very oily. They are known for their fighting ability, and are an important recreational and commercial fishery. The meat can spoil quickly, especially in the tropics, causing scombroid food poisoning--it must be eaten on the day of capture, unless properly refrigerated or cured. For this reason, mackerel is commonly salt-cured sushi. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Natural Resources Defense Council king mackerel is contaminated with high levels of mercury. [1]
