Norwegian mackerel, with its distinct tiger stripes, is considered the juiciest mackerel. This is because it is caught from a sustainable stock when the quality is at its best in the cold, clear waters of Norway.

Mackerel is well known for its blue-green color and round shape. It can be found throughout the entire Northeast Atlantic Ocean.

After spawning, the fish migrate northeast to feed. In August, mackerel migrate toward the Norwegian coast before returning to their preferred spawning grounds.
