King Oscar Mackerel in Olive Oil, Mediterranean Style, 4.05 Ounce Can (Pack of 12, Packaging May Vary), Skinless & Boneless, Wild Caught Canned Mackerel

I’m not a fan of sardines and tuna is just okay, but I really like this mackerel, and it helps me get some omega 3s into my diet. I’ve never noticed any bones, and the texture is more like tuna (which is a good thing imo). I can grab a can and throw it onto a bed of lettuce for a quick, satisfying, and healthy lunch. The Mediterranean is my favorite but I like them all, even the jalapeño. I’m a wimp when it comes to spicy food and assumed it would be hot, but it’s very mild with a nice hint of jalapeño flavor. Just a warning, however—my husband can’t stand the smell, so be prepared with some gum or a toothbrush if eating around others!

I like sardines and found these mackerel as an alternative. They taste better! The texture, in my opinion, is firm and superior to sardines and tuna. The Mediterranean style in olive oil, with herbs and the green and black olives, is the way to go - I serve them for my kids over rice, and they ask for it again and again. These also check the right nutritional boxes for me.

I just got my order and ate 2 cans today. Was coming off a 22 hour fast, and wanted enough protein and fat to balance my macros, yet not eat so much to impede my next meal in a couple of hours. I am also carnivore, well more like ketovore as I chose the Mediterranean style which as some olives and spices. But I do keep my carbs to 10 grams TOTAL per day or less. So lots of meat, fish, butter. I already am enamored with King Oscar products. It was my gateway brand into the world of canned fish some 15 years ago or so. No matter the fish, I usually go for plain, packed in water or oil, and preferably with bones. I am open to flavored options so long as it isnt adding much in way of carbs or isnt sitting in junk ingredients. Kinda taking a walk on the wild side here, or dirty side as far as clean eating goes with this having seasonings, olives, and not having bones (bones are nutritive!). BUT, I bet I was hungry when I ordered these, and since I eat so many sardines, mackeral, and other canned fish... I thought why not have something a little different? I usually eat 2 tins of fish. My thought was to have this as a topper to my usual plain sardines or mackerel. But what did I do for my first taste? I dumped 2 tins into a bowl, and gobbled it all up. I had to refrain from licking the bowl clean as I did not drain this first. GAWD, this was GOOD. It is a tad salty, but if you happen to be on a very very low carb diet, then you know salt is needful. The sodium in this made it extra tasty to me. I think it also lends enough flavor to be used on top of grains, pasta, potato, salad or vegetables--if any of that is your thing. For me, I will likely pair it with one tin of plain, as intended. Give it all a nice pop of flavor without being too much. Or maybe I just go for it again and gobble down 2 tins of this lovely Mediterranean flavor option. I was really satisfied with it taste and texture wise. Speaking er writing of texture. The mackerel is firm with gentle give. Not mushy. It has a good solid mouth feel that makes me feel like I am eating something. It's divine in my opinion. I never eat my tinned fish hot, but I can see this being a nice convenient option to go toward a hot meal, or of course cold or room temp. Just a few slices of olives. I can see them, taste them, and enjoy them. Seasonings are evident too. A nice pop of flavor. The tin is about typical as far as opening goes. Peel back, try not to splatter oil on yourself. All in a little box. Stacks well. Clearly identifies what is in this. I have a huge hoard of tinned fish options, so I appreciate when I can figure out what is what quickly. I already know I will buy this again. So 5 stars from me

Tastes good, lots of good protein. Olive oil is a bit watered down but the fish is tasty. Had no bones or skin. Package was totally fine and to me decent price and value. Quality seems good, wild caught so that’s the best thing. No leak out of the can. I love this fish which has lots of omega 3!

I really LOVE these King Oscar Mackerel, Mediterranean Style cans! These are so delicious, and as a personal, private chef, I should know of what I speak. In a pinch, you have a satisfying meal. The flavors are robust and truly well blended. The fish is skinless and boneless and sublime. I always keep these (and the Salmon variety) on hand. Thank you, King Oscar, you are a cut above all the rest!
