I've been sucked into the "tinned fish" craze, and have tried many of them from fancily packaged Fishwife brand, to sustainably-caught products like Wild Planet, to mass-market brands like Bumble Bee. For Mackerel, King Oscar delivers a great combination of "fancy brand" quality and mass-market price. Tastes great, seems to be high quality, and not outrageously priced like some of these emerging viral brands.

I eat a lot of canned herring and sardines. It had been several years since I had tried mackerel. The last time I had mackerel it was full of bones and I didn't care for it. King Oscar is a reputable brand so I gave it a try. I am glad I did because it was excellent. More firm than the herring and sardines I have been eating. No bones either just nice fillets. Great flavor and just the right amount of salt. I will definitely keep buying this brand.

Why you should consider my review:1) Tested multiple cans: I compared not just one can like on some online videos, but ate through a 12 pack and alternated with another popular brand over a month.2) Motivation: I am not a paid influencer and I am only bothered to write maybe one review every 3-5 years. I disagreed with the high rating and rave reviews some were giving this product.3) Review the product not the fish: This is about this item, not the health benefits of mackerel that some of these reviews are raving about.Pros:*Value: If other brands are 90% fish and 10% oil, King Oscar feels like 95% fish to 5% oil. The fish is PACKED in this can. Comes out in one dense mass.*Taste: The flavor was ok---not as great for a from-the-can fish, but in a dish or mixed with Japanese mayo and/or citrus can be ok. Try a can first before you splurge on the 12 pack. I'm ok with fishy fish, but some cans were extremely fishy. It may not be everyone's cup of tea.Cons:*Most of the cans carried a distinctly fishy smell on opening. I eat sushi & sashimi, but the odor is pretty strong.*Some may like the density---value!---but the texture can then be very tight if you want to eat it right out of the can. *Texture: It's not flakey fish at all the way they prepare it vs other canned mackerel.*Taste: taste is related to smell in large part, so while the individual bites were fine to tasty, if you got a fishy can, that plus the texture made some cans a slog to get through.Recommended use: Because of the odor and density, it might be best if you're going to put this in a recipe with other items. If you're ok with fishy smell, you could eat it out of the can (I did).My background with canned fish and canned mackerel: I didn't grow up on canned fish. I'd have canned tuna maybe once every 4-5 years. In the last year, I started looking into making lunches that were (a) cheap, (b) quick, (c) packed with protein, and (d) packed with nutrient. I started with more canned tuna and salmon, then moved into mackerel. I now pretty much only eat canned mackerel now when i go for a quick lunch for omega 3's and low mercury risk. I started buying in bulk, and ended up with 2 12 packs of mackerel and some single packs of other varieties.Why I tried this product: The high ratings from others.

Yesterday was my first time trying mackerel of any kind...Absolutely delicious! I'm a sardines girl and I liked these better than the sardines I've been eating. Definitely ordering another 12pk of these, and including the Mediterranean, and Lemon flavors NEXT! 😍I eat them straight out of the can, and drink the oil. Every time I eat these and sardines, my brain feels SO much better. These have also been great for my glucose/insulin levels. Lovely amount of protein and fat. The can is easy to open, and there isn't a strong, fishy smell after you've opened the can (which can be the case with sardines).I only wish the can (and serving size) were bigger for the price. I can get a 12pk of sardines for half the price I paid for the 12pk of mackerel, but the taste more than makes up for it. 5/5!

Never had mackerel, but I'm on a mission trying a bunch of food I'd usually never eat/buy. This stuff is amazing, bit pricey, but damn good. Taste just like salmon. I opened the can and tried it immediately as is. Finished it with some crackers. Tins a bit small, but its enough to do the job. (Thats what she said)

These mackerels have replaced my daily breakfast of 2 eggs. I find them so tasty, I don't even like to futz with them, I don't add anything to them to make them more palatable or anything. I just eat them straight, as they are. And the nutritional profile is unmatched!

Very good product

Tastiest mackerel around

Deception of a full pack when it’s just 1. Overpriced for one tin
