    5 oz Mackerel has about a 128 mg of naturally occurring sodium which means about about 220 grams of sodium are added. With salt containing about 2300 mg of sodium per teaspoon, that's less than a 1/10 of a teaspoon of added salt per serving. I suppose one could argue whether that constitutes "a touch" or not, but 350mg of salt total (15% of the RDA) is relatively low for a canned protein.

    Holy Mackerel!

    (Sorry, it had to be done.)

    (Not sorry)

    31 grams of protein if anybody cares. That's a pretty good chunk right there boys and girls. Unsure about how frequently you are supposed to eat/not eat this breed of fish. It generally goes that the bigger fish are unhealthier than the smaller fish because of greater accumulation of lead and other contaminants over time.

    You're estimated amount of naturally occurring salt, may also be low. These"no salt added" tins are a little less than 5oz, and contain 170mg of sodium.

    All that is to say, I agree. It doesn't seem like these are overly packed with sodium.

    You are correct. I didn't see nutrition info for this particular kind of mackerel , so I looked similar data and used raw mackerel. Cooking is going to concentrate the sodium a bit. Based on the USDA info, it could be more.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I thought tin cans were replaced by steel many decades ago.

    Quote from abstractedpudding :
    This is Pacific chub mackerel (scomber japonicus) which puts it in the middle range for mecury and is listed on the "ok" section of many lists. The FDA has it in their "best" category for avoiding contaminants, but it is not among the lowest when it come to mercury. That said, it's the king mackerel that is usually recommended to avoid.
    Good information. Thank you.

    Quote from Online1904 :
    How do those taste in reference to sardines?
    mackerel is the red headed step child compared to sardines. If you taste both, you will most likely prefer sardines. If you want the best sardines, look at those caught in the deep and cold Atlantic off the coast of Portugal, Morocco, Spain. The are firm and delicious. My grandfather worked the fishing boats for sardines when a teen before coming to the US and always said the North Atlantic had the best. Good read on sardines: https://catavino.net/portuguese-a...nned-fish/ Another delicious fish is Grunion. Here in California, they are plentiful and lots of fun to catch, cook in hot oil until crispy. Great memories of family/friends with beach camping, cooking these little fish with french bread and green salad and drinking wine. If in So Cal, check the surf fishing shops for details on how to catch. https://www.californiabeaches.com...union-run/

    Pacific chub caught with with purse seines in north Japan is considered a "good alternative" to more sustainable fishing methods, making this an okay buy if you care about sustainability. More info here:

    It should be noted that salt and sodium are not the same. NaCl is salt, Sodium Benzoate is a common preservative that also contains sodium.

    That's helpful - I paid less than this on a sardine spree that already filled my allotted shelf space.

    I really, really like sushi mackerel.
