Nutritional value[edit]

Howdy. The energy to macronutrient ratio seems fishy (ha!). 49 kcal is too low for something that contains 13.9g of fat and 18.6g of protein. Can someone please look into that? —iNkubusse^? 11:18, 23 April 2013 (UTC) Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).[reply]

Light tuna[edit]

Might be good to add light tuna to the table as well. Think it's somewhere around 0.11 ppm

Also might be good to have mcg per 4oz serving size as one of the table columns (about 114 x the value in ppm) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.118.202.234 (talk) 23:07, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Detailed nutritional values[edit]

I think it is odd that as an "encyclopedic" article specifically about a food source, some nutritional information that might be of interest to a typical consumer would be left out (see what were removed), especially the nutritions that the food is a significant source, i.e. Vitamin D, Niacin, Vitamin B6, B12. Heck, you can't even answer a simple question from a statement in the article about Mackerel being a good source of omega-3 fatty acid. (How significant is it? Do I consume it enough from the fish today?) Can we not make this article more useful to more people, and be less subjected to one person's opinion ? --Tikmok (talk) 05:21, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
