Product Description:
Horse Mackerel is a popular species for grilling, frying, and canning due to its firm texture and savory flavor. Sourced from Omani waters and frozen at sea to preserve freshness, it’s an affordable and versatile seafood option.
horse mackerel has quite a slender, quite compressed body with a large head in which the rear of the upper jaw reaches the front of the eye and the lower jaw projects beyond the upper jaw. The eye has a well developed adipose eyelid.[4] It has two dorsal fins,[5] the first is tall[3] and has seven thin spines, with the final spine being much shorter than the others. The second dorsal fin is separated from the first by a narrow gap and is considerably longer than the first[5] with 29-33 soft rays.[6] The anal fin is about as long as the second dorsal fin and there are two separate spines at its anterior end.[5] The moderately sized pelvic fin has a single spine and five soft rays and has its origin below the end of the pectoral fin base.
