Mackerel refers to a group of fish in the family Scombridae, primarily known for their streamlined bodies and high-speed swimming. Notable species include the Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), the Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus), and the king mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla). These fish are important in commercial and recreational fishing due to their flavorful flesh and high omega-3 fatty acid content. Mackerel are commonly found in both temperate and tropical oceans worldwide.
