Brazilian Spanish Mackerel

Scomberomorus brasiliensis, commonly known as the Brazilian Spanish Mackerel, is a marine fish with an elongated, silvery body and dark lateral stripes, commonly found along the Atlantic coast of South America, especially in Brazil. It is highly valued in both commercial and sport fishing, as well as in gastronomy for its rich flavor and firm texture.

Its meat is white, slightly pinkish, and juicy, with a mild and slightly oily taste due to its healthy fat content, rich in omega-3. Grilling is one of the most popular preparation methods, typically seasoned with garlic, lemon, and olive oil, creating a golden crust on the outside while keeping it tender inside. It can also be baked with fresh herbs such as rosemary and cilantro to enhance its natural flavor.

Another common preparation is frying, either in steaks or breaded fillets, often served with citrus-based sauces. Additionally, it is frequently used in seafood stews and moquecas, where its meat absorbs bold seasonings such as bell peppers, tomatoes, and coconut milk. Versatile and delicious, the Brazilian Spanish Mackerel is an essential ingredient in traditional coastal recipes.
