Mackerel off ‘fish to eat’ list
Mackerel is no longer a sustainable choice for a regular fish supper, conservationists say in the face of overfishing of the stock.
The Marine Conservation Society said it had removed mackerel, an oily fish packed with omega 3, from its latest version of its “fish to eat” list, and it should be eaten only occasionally.
The warning comes after the Marine Stewardship Council, which certifies fish stocks that are managed sustainably, suspended its certification of the north east Atlantic mackerel fishery.
