Mackerel tabby is a variant of the tabby cat pattern that manifests as thin, more standard stripes, compared to the "marbled" effect of classic tabby.

Mackerel tabby stripes are often stylized as thicker than they are in real life, but are still depicted as being straight stripes rather than swirls. Mackerel stripes may occasionally form small "loops", but the stripes themselves are still the typical shape.
