Indian mackerel, scientifically known as Rastrelliger kanagurta, belongs to the Scombridae family and is widely distributed across the Indo-Pacific region. It is a small to medium-sized pelagic fish commonly landed in commercial quantities from the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and adjacent waters. The species is recognized for its streamlined body, dark longitudinal bands on the upper half, and silvery belly. In frozen seafood trade, this mackerel is valued for its high yield, relatively high oil content, and ability to retain texture during freezing and transport.
HongXiang sources this mackerel from approved fishing grounds in FAO statistical areas 51 and 57, where harvest practices follow coastal state regulations and seasonal availability. Landings are selected from vessels that practice proper chilling on board, which reduces histamine development and preserves muscle integrity. This focus on raw material quality is the first step in delivering a frozen product that meets strict market requirements in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
