Is Mackerel a Sustainable Fish?
Mackerel, a versatile and an affordable fish popular in the United Kingdom, has recently been downgraded in a sustainability rating system. The UK’s Marine Conservation Society (MCS) moved mackerel from green to amber on its Good Fish Guide. The drop in ratings is due to the overfishing of mackerel in recent years.
Mackerel has long been considered a more sustainable option for those who like to consume seafood. However, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) has assessed that mackerel-fishing countries have overfished the fish by 41% on average in the last decade. The MCS stated that the move from green to amber doesn’t mean people should completely cut mackerel from their diets, but rather eat it in moderation and consider other more sustainable options.
