Healthy, because
High-fat fish, including mackerel, are the best animal source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which our body cannot produce itself. They have positive effects on the cardiovascular system and are indispensable building blocks of cell membranes.
Even smarter
If you're very concerned about fat calories: Alternatively, instead of mackerel, smoked trout fillet in a bread salad is also delicious. It is lean and therefore has less of the valuable essential fatty acids.
