Atlantic Mackerel are sleek, schooling fish common in the North Atlantic, migrating in huge shoals. Fast swimmers, they feed on plankton, small fish, and crustaceans. With shimmering blue-green stripes, they are popular sportfish and baitfish for larger predators like tuna, marlin, and sharks, valued for their oily flesh.
