It also provides typically, 2g of EPA & DHA per serving. The omega-3 content could be useful if you're totally Statin intolerant, such as myself. My main reservation is that smoked foods should not be eaten too often as the smoking process is carcinogenic.I think tinned mackerel, in tomato sauce is a good option. A 125g tin contains no added sugar, only minimal C/H from the tomato and 168kcal/100g with 3.4g omega-3 per can.I would avoid tinned mackerel in oil, which is likely to be sunflower oil [omega-6].</blockquote>
