Nutritional values

Mackerel is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help support heart and blood vessel health.

If you don't have a fish grill, you can prepare the mackerels by spreading olive oil on 4 large pieces of aluminium foil , wraping the fish loosely in it and grilling them on the hot grill.
