At Chatham Harvesters Seafood, we believe in bringing the freshest, most sustainably harvested seafood to our community. Our commitment to responsible fishing practices, local stewardship, and exceptional quality is at the heart of everything we do. One of our favorite ways to celebrate the ocean’s bounty is through smoked mackerel—a flavorful, nutrient-rich fish that embodies our values of sustainability, quality, and respect for tradition.
A Sustainable Choice
Mackerel is a fast-growing, abundant fish, making it an excellent choice for sustainable seafood lovers. Our harvesting methods ensure that we maintain healthy fish populations and protect the delicate marine ecosystem of Cape Cod's near waters. By choosing smoked mackerel from Chatham Harvesters, you’re supporting small-scale, community-based fishermen who prioritize ocean conservation and responsible fishing.
Flavor and Nutrition in Every Bite
Smoked mackerel is packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, and essential vitamins. Its rich, smoky taste pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from simple salads to gourmet spreads. Whether you enjoy it on a fresh baguette with cream cheese and herbs or flaked into a warm pasta dish, smoked mackerel offers a delicious and nutritious way to experience the best of the sea.
Honoring Tradition, Supporting Community
Smoking fish is a time-honored preservation technique that enhances both flavor and shelf life. At Chatham Harvesters Seafood, we honor this tradition while ensuring the highest quality standards. Each fillet is carefully prepared and smoked, delivering a product that reflects the hard work and dedication of our fishing community. By purchasing from us, you’re directly supporting local fishermen and strengthening the regional food system.
