Not sure what you can find in your country but we have tinned mackerel (with tomato typically) in Norway. I can highly recommend.

It's not thaaat fishy, I didn't grow up eating it. After having it a few times it really grew on me.

Super cheap and an easy way to get it into my diet. I have 2-3 tins per week. I eat it for breakfast mashed on bread (our bread is like a hard cracker), sometimes with a bit of mustard, or butter spread first.

Yep this is common in the UK as well and with the tomato I do prefer it to fresh mackerel, but it's still too "fishy" for me, if I tried to eat 3 tins a week I'd get sick of it pretty quickly.

Maybe genetics, I'm guessing all my ancestors grew up eating dairy and some meat and not so much fish.

It used to be traditional in England to eat kippers for breakfast once a week but that's more or less gone extinct
