Welcome to the section dedicated to Mackerel (Caballa), one of the blue fish with the greatest personality and tradition in Andalusian preserved seafood. At Productos de Almadraba, we select an exclusive range of mackerel fillets and mackerel roe, marketed under the iconic El Rey de Oros brand.
A product that stands out for its bold flavor, juicy texture, and the historic backing of a brand that understands the timing and maturation process in oil. The perfect bite for those seeking character and authenticity in every tin.
The Identity of Cádiz Mackerel
Mackerel is a key component of the Atlantic diet thanks to its impressive nutritional profile and robust flavor profile. Unlike more neutral fish, mackerel possesses a distinct personality that makes it the star of the dish. Our selection, supported by the historic legacy of El Rey de Oros, seeks out batches where the fillet retains its structure after cooking, offering a texture that separates gently to the touch and a full flavor that lingers on the palate.
