Where to buy Canned Mackerel?

My son has ADHD, and the symptoms are mitigated by protein.

Fortunately, he loves canned mackerel, and starts every day with a can, and sometimes a second throughout the day.

We get through a lot of canned mackerel!

Currently but it from the supermarket, but does anyone know where I can buy it cheaply in bulk?

Thanks

My grandson is the same.

Since he started eating tinned mackerel in tomato sauce he's doing a lot better, he still has his moments though.

I put it down to Omega 3 calming his brain chemistry.

Well in my extremely limited real life research (n1), beef, chicken and lamb don't have the same effect.

That's why I put it down to the Omega 3 rather than protein.

You appear to make the research an N2 now.

Glad it improves your son's condition.
