Princes Jack Mackerel Fillets

Princes Jack Mackerel Fillets are a staple of the canned seafood aisle, known for their milder flavor and meatier texture. The brand has deep roots in the United Kingdom, having been founded in Liverpool in 1880. For much of its recent history, Princes was owned by the Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi Corporation. However, in a landmark deal finalized in 2024, the brand was acquired by the Italian food group Newlat Food S.p.A, leading to the formation of the 'New Princes Group.'

Manufacturing for Princes products occurs across a global network. While the brand is headquartered in Liverpool, UK, its fish products are sourced and packed in various locations depending on the species and sustainability certifications. For instance, many of its mackerel and sardine products are packed in Morocco or Chile to ensure proximity to MSC-certified fisheries. The specific product shown is also distributed through major retailers like Sainsbury's in the UK, highlighting its role as a key player in the European grocery market.
