Frozen Indian Mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta)

Name: Frozen Indian Mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta)
Brand: Easy Seafood

Frozen Indian Mackerel (scientific name Rastrelliger kanagurta) is a wild-caught pelagic fish from the mackerel family (Scombridae), blast-frozen shortly after catch to lock in freshness. A staple protein across South and Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, and the Middle East, it is valued for its rich, oily flavor, firm texture, and high omega-3 content. We supply it in multiple presentations — whole round, HGT (headed & gutted), and fillet — size-graded and frozen under strict histamine-control cold chain.

What Is Indian Mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta)?

Indian mackerel is a fast-growing Indo-Pacific pelagic species and one of the most commercially important mackerels in the region. The fish is landed, rapidly chilled, size-graded, and deep-frozen (thermal centre to -18°C or below). As a Scombridae species, it requires careful time-temperature control to prevent histamine (scombrotoxin) formation — our HACCP plan covers rapid chilling, temperature logging, and cold-chain maintenance from landing to shipment.

FAQ

What is Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta)? It is a wild pelagic mackerel species (Scombridae) common in the Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific, prized as an affordable, omega-3-rich staple across Asia, India, and the Middle East.

What formats and sizes are available? We offer whole round, HGT (headed & gutted), and fillet. Sizes are graded by count per kg (e.g., 4–6 to 12–14 pcs/kg) and can follow buyer specifications.

Why is cold-chain control critical for mackerel? Mackerel is a Scombridae fish; if not rapidly chilled and deep-frozen, it can form histamine (scombrotoxin), a heat-stable toxin that causes rejection. Our process uses rapid chilling, -18°C deep freezing, and monitored cold chain to keep it safe.

Which markets does this product serve? Primary demand comes from Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, and the Middle East, with growing interest in Africa and the EU.
