I love seafood. A lot. Crab legs, shrimps, fish, mussels, lobster… Oh! I am drooling as typing these words. Today, I have a very SIMPLE, CHEAP, and DELICIOUS Mackerel Patties recipe to share with you. If you enjoy seafood, you definitely don’t want to miss it.  

I love using canned mackerel in my recipes because of its versatility, flavor and impressive nutrient profile. Plus, there has been a lot of research done, indicating that regular consumption could help drop your blood pressure and cholesterol, protect against depression, and keep your bones healthy and strong. So if you haven’t tried it already, now it’s a great time to do it.

Of course, you can buy canned Mackerel on Amazon. There are several brands out there (such as Bumble Bee, Polar, Chicken of the Sea) and they all work well.
