What kind of mackerel?

I'm not sure whether this one should be under wildlife, but here goes.
I regularly buy mackerel from various fishmongers hereabouts, in Somerset. I should ask them, but I always forget. What type of mackerel would this be? Atlantic mackerel, king mackerel, Spanish mackerel .... there is quite a difference in nutrients: for instance the king mackerel has got 4 times as much vitamin A as the Atlantic. Can't seem to find this out from the internet, can anyone help please?

 

Atlantic Mackerel, you won't get the other ones around here

 

I thoght Mackerel was Mackerel, didn't reasile there was different types, only small ones and smaller ones sold by Morrisons.

 

Thank you, that's good, I tend to get too much vitamin A and then I get stomach cramps.

 

Mellow pete, we'll sort em out in the morning

 

I thought Mackerel was Mackerel as well.... that's two things I have learnt this week

 

2 species round Britain, the other being a Scad or horse mackeral, ok for bait, taste minging.

 

Spanish Mackerel caught from Chesil Beach, Dorset 3 years ago, photo taken in a Weymouth tackle shop.

 

So, we even have " immigrant " fish now as well I wonder how many family members he bought with him !

Did you check his passport/visa Scrungee ?
