The liver produces 75% of the cholesterol that circulates in our blood. The other 25% comes from food. At normal levels, cholesterol actually plays an important role in helping cells do their jobs. But cholesterol levels are precariously high in more than 100 million Americans.he body converts excess calories, sugar, and alcohol into triglycerides, a type of fat that is carried in the blood and stored in fat cells throughout the body. People who are overweight, inactive, smokers, or heavy drinkers tend to have high triglycerides, as do those who eat a very high-carb diet.
Use mackerel in place of other meat in a favorite casserole. Mix mackerel with cream cheese and herbs to make a nice cracker spread, or get fancy with creme fraiche, whipping cream, or other light ingredients to make mackerel pate or mousse. Add mackerel flakes to homemade pizza, or even mix it with canned tuna for a decked out tuna salad sandwich.
Why does frozen Mackerel taste funny? I eat a lot of fish for health reasons, and although fresh is best, I've had to resort to some frozen fish. Some fish like Cod seem to freeze well, but oily fish such as mackerel or sardines really seem to be effected by freezing and have a certain off flavour and taste. Why?
