5 oz Mackerel has about a 128 mg of naturally occurring sodium which means about about 220 grams of sodium are added. With salt containing about 2300 mg of sodium per teaspoon, that's less than a 1/10 of a teaspoon of added salt per serving. I suppose one could argue whether that constitutes "a touch" or not, but 350mg of salt total (15% of the RDA) is relatively low for a canned protein.

This is Pacific chub mackerel (scomber japonicus) which puts it in the middle range for mecury and is listed on the "ok" section of many lists. The FDA has it in their "best" category for avoiding contaminants, but it is not among the lowest when it come to mercury. That said, it's the king mackerel that is usually recommended to avoid.

All that is to say, I agree. It doesn't seem like these are overly packed with sodium.
