The mackerel (or scad) is a bluefish that we often find at fish markets. It has a relatively low cost, great nutritional properties, and it’s perfect for preparing many economical recipes that are also delicious.
Personally, it’s the first time I’ve bought mackerel and prepared a FISH recipe because… well, I don’t really know, but that’s been the case until now!
Thanks to a very simple recipe I saw in the magazine A Tavola, today I made a very tasty and fresh dish the grilled mackerel with tomatoes.

Tips and Notes
For the Mediterranean diet a balanced diet is crucial in preventing many widespread diseases worldwide.
The foundation includes foods that should be consumed daily, such as fruits, cereals, vegetables, olive oil, dairy products, and yogurt.
Fish also plays a fundamental role because, in the right amounts, it maintains and improves people’s health. For this reason, the new Mediterranean Diet Pyramid proposed by IFMeD recommends consuming fish at least twice a week.
