Great value size For cat lovers cat owners. This is a natural deformed and healthy permoting for cats diets

Thanks! Each can holds about 4 mackerel, or 8 halves. For me that is enough for two meals, with 4 halves on each. The bones are crunchy and soft. They were not quite as fishy as expected which was good, I would say less fishy than a sardine or smoked herring. There was a little oil in the can that had naturally come from the fish, otherwise these are in water with a little salt. The cans are not that strong and may be a little dented, however, contents have not been affected.

Taste pretty good but since they raised their price I will not be buying it anymore until the price comes down. I was paying $2.09 and this has jumped to $3.10 so I have to pass on this.

Solid quality fish. A good price too. Great for making patties or chimichanga's with.

I have 7 cats, all of whom eat mackerel mixed with their dry cat food as it provides essential nutrients that their cat food does not, and is rather economically reasonable as an option as well. I've tried Bumble Bee brand once, but typically, I alternate between Honey Boy and California Girl through my locals stores. The first time I gave Bumble Bee's brand to my cats about six months ago, I noticed some vomiting and gastric issues from a couple of cats that subsided after a couple of servings. This may sound horrific, but it wasn't all that dramatic as cats just randomly cough things up from time to time. It wasn't as if they all spewed at the same time like a scene out of the exorcist; no, just one or two cats, some vomit, and an otherwise normal night. That said, I had a lingering suspicion that the issue was the mackerel but wasn't sure. As I said prior, two days into their feedings and everything seemed normal again, so the issue could have been anything at that time. Fast forward and I purchased both Honey Boy and California Brand mackerel at two different points within the same week. I had a chance to compare each brand to Bumble Bee's while opening and marrying all of the contents in one container, and it was obvious that the Bumble Bee brand had this thicker layer of oil around the fish, and that the fish was canned in water that just didn't look as appealing as that of the California Girl's brand. Regarding Honey Boy, I was indifferent and probably won't mention this brand again outside of saying that my cats responded to it just fine, but it's rarely if ever in stock despite being the far more affordable option between all three brands, so I stopped checking for it after a while. A brand that is regularly available, however, is California Girl. Alright, so after having finished our 12 pack of Bumble Bee's brand, Amazon then went out of stock for what felt like 3 or 4 months, and so we switched to California Girl regularly, and there is not so much as one vomit incident to report. The cats take very well to this brand, I seriously have no complaints about it and it's only a few cents more in cost per can than that of the Bumble Bee's brand; but I'm always looking for a deal, so when Bumble Bee came back into stock at about .10 cents less per can, per 12 pack; I gave it another chance. Two days into using it and I now feel that my suspicions have been confirmed. There is something off with Bumble Bee's selection. I wouldn't go as far to say that it's universally problematic or unfit for consumption as I know many of you feed this to your furbabies; but where cat's and their sensitive digestive systems are concerned, I think it's just too heavy and the oil or the water isn't filtered enough. There could be an issue with the cans as well. I won't even go as far to say that the oil is natural mackerel oil because I really don't know that to be the case. The label says that it is so I'm inclined to think so, which leads me to think that, again, their filtering process is one small step shorter of better quality, something that I'm sure the brand could easily rectify if they wanted to for the sake of better quality where their product is concerned. I'll come back and post a sidexside later on for comparison's sake, because there is a clear difference between the conditions of what the fish are soaking in regarding each brand. If the cats can handle it then I'll let them finish this 12 pack as is, but I'm fairly sure that so long as the California Girl brand remains respectfully economic, I'll purchase that instead. Honorable mention for Chicken of the Sea's brand of mackerel that's only slightly more expensive than California Girl's. It looked to be of good quality and our cats took to it well. If on sale, I wouldn't mind buying it in bulk, and if Honey Boy is available then I don't mind grabbing that as well; but it's California Girl for now.

We are very pleased with this purchase of Bumble Bee Chub Mackerel. These cans of mackerel total one dozen and each has 15 oz. of contents. They arrived in good condition. The mackerel is very fragrant and is not overpacked with water. Aside from some water and salt (450 mg of salt per can) the contents are all fish. The cans each have 3 servings, when drained of water and salt, and texture is standard for canned mackerel. Canned mackerel can be mixed with other ingredients and fried as patties. These cans are sturdy enough to endure shipping and convenient for home storage.

Good mackerel. Im not sure how fresh it is as it was kind of smelly.
