Pretty great deal on some very good canned Mackerel. Don't buy them all up, save some for the others!

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.
Holy Mackerel!

31 grams of protein if anybody cares. That's a pretty good chunk right there boys and girls. Unsure about how frequently you are supposed to eat/not eat this breed of fish. It generally goes that the bigger fish are unhealthier than the smaller fish because of greater accumulation of lead and other contaminants over time.

I like how it has to have the warning "CONTAINS FISH" on the can laugh out loud Curious about the story behind the need to do that.

Wild planets lightly smoked sardines are so good. I'm taking a try on the mackerel.

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.

You're estimated amount of naturally occurring salt, may also be low. These"no salt added" tins are a little less than 5oz, and contain 170mg of sodium.

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

Their tuna is also top notch, and the albacore is also on sale:
