Smoked horse mackerel

Smoked Horse Mackerel, also known as “saurel” or “caringue,” is distinguished by its bluish-grey body with silvery-white flanks, a slightly prominent jaw, and a side line bristling with quills. This fish, about the size of mackerel, inhabits a wide territory in the Atlantic Ocean, stretching from the Norwegian coast through the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara, and the Mediterranean to South Africa. Its slender and spindle-shaped body, along with a very thin caudal peduncle, makes it similar in appearance to mackerel.
