Spanish Mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus) 

Considered one of the best mackerels from a cooking quality standpoint due to its leaner flesh which is more delicately flavored than the Atlantic and Chub Mackerel and all of the Pacific Mackerels.  

The Spanish Mackerel id found from the Chesapeake Bay to Brazil but has been caught further north in warmer years.

Spanish Mackerels can reach a weight of 20 pounds but the market average is2 to 4 pounds. This mackerel differs from the Atlantic in appearance as it has golden spots on its sides and no lateral stripes.

This is the most common mackerel in Florida and is caught in quantity in the Gulf during the winter and spring seasons.
