Mackerel
Mackerels eat a lot. They can eat so much, sometimes they don’t even close their mouths to eat: young mackerels swim with their mouths open through clouds of plankton and filter little animals out of the water with their gills. The upside of all the eating that they do, is that their meat is tender, fatty and is filled with omega 3 fatty acids. Healthy and tasty.
