Is Mackerel fish Kosher?

Mackerel (in the family Scombridae) can refer to several different species of ocean fish that are found in tropical as well as temperate water. The smaller species of mackerels often travel in schools. Mackerel is a widely consumed fish around the world. Since it spoils quickly if not properly refrigerated, many of the common preparations of mackerel (especially in the past) involved curing or smoking the fish. However, today, it is commonly prepared grilled, seared, or roasted.

At this point you may be wondering, is mackerel kosher? Good news: According to Chabad, who received their information from the Orthodox Union, mackerel is a kosher fish.
