Solution

The correct option is A Mackerel
Mackerel is a marine fish. It is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. The flesh of the fish gets poisoned easily so it should be eaten at the day of capture. The skin of the fish is free from scales. It feeds on copepods, crab larvae, squid and shrimp. Apart from the fatty acids, it also contains protein, vitamins and minerals, and little saturated fat.
So, the correct answer is option A.
