Nishimaaji are similar to the Japanese Horse mackerel (Maaji) in terms of ecology, with migratory and schooling populations, and the schooling fish caught in the winter before spawning around the Strait of Dover are the most fatty and are mainly exported to Japan. The majority of exports come from four countries: the Netherlands, Norway, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. The fatty fish is very tasty. Locally, it is distributed as fresh fish and processed into smoked, salted and dried, canned, and fish meal. Exports to Japan are mainly for dried fish.
