A restaurant I visited recently had a raw minced mackerel preparation as
a first course (mackerel tartare).

The fish had not been previously frozen. Are there any risks to human
health from consuming raw Atlantic mackerel fillets? Have there been
any cases of anisakiasis from the raw consumption of this fish?
Although I have eaten raw Thunnus many times I was less confident to eat
raw Scomber.

If there are known risks I would like to pass on this information to the
restaurant. Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely,
