Mackerels are nutritious |15 February 2014

Almost everyday at the Victoria Market or elsewhere in various districts, mackerels are available in abundance. One would think that they are the least expensive fish available in Seychelles but this is not really the case. Nowadays mackerels are getting so costly that people sometimes cannot afford them, although Seychellois love mackerels. Will you buy a packet of eight mackerels for R50? Consumers believe that’s too expensive for this type of fish that once upon a time were given away for free or cost a mere R10 per packet!

When money is scarce and they cannot afford more expensive or other edible popular fish, Seychellois always believe they could afford a packet of mackerels as it is considered the cheapest fish among others. Is that still the case and is mackerel really the lowest quality fish among the lot? Open discussion. (More under LIVING).
