Boston mackerel, also known as Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), is a sustainably managed North Atlantic species caught from Massachusetts to North Carolina, with especially abundant populations in the cooler waters of the Gulf of Maine. The flesh is rich and oily, high in omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, niacin, and vitamins B6 and B12.
Red's Best uses advanced freezer technology to super-freeze their locally caught fish and shellfish to temperatures below -61 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of 24 hours. They perform this process as it is necessary to reduce the risk of consuming raw, wild seafood. Red's Best commercial super freezer accelerates the freezing process, and preserves the texture of the proteins by reducing the expansion of water molecules within the flesh of the seafood.
All our seafood selections are evaluated based on location and catch or aquaculture method as recommended by the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch.
