If you're anything like me and you love jerky, but are reluctant (from a cholesterol perspective) to go to town on a pound of beef jerky, this ahi tuna jerky does the trick. seasoned well, and much more healthy (unless you're freaked out about mercury as well in which case you should you should throw in the towel and go vegan) then this is great. Only complaint is how expensive it is by the ounce and some of the pieces are really, REALLY hard. All in all delish and nutrish.

When its good, this stuff is wonderful. It's got that delicious fresh (as opposed to canned) tuna edge. I only wish they were more careful about the quality control as sometimes (as noted in other comments), it can be brittle and much too dry.

Right consistency, Excelent product overall. Tasty, but you have to be a fish lover. Much better quality and consistency than the salmon jerky. I just ordered more.

Good texture, good taste on the Ahi tuna. Almost as good as beef jerky.

Avoid the salmon jerky. Most of the strips were hard and brittle. Some were so tough they were barely edible...more fit for my dog. Also the salmon was too spicy.

Pros:

Very tasty

Natural ( no preservatives )

Cons:

Difficult to chew

While I thought the concept of Tuna Jerky sounded like a good idea, in reality these fell short. The tuna was extremely hard and dry; all moisture was lost in the curing process and left the tuna tasting more like hard paper. I enjoy the Salmon Jerky, but I will not be ordering the tuna again. From the brittle hard texture to the strange after taste, this tuna was disappointing.

But, knowing that, I just bought an eight pack of it anyway. Here's my advice: rip open a package, pour it out on your cutting board and cut it into bite size pieces with your kitchen shears. I find even the toughest pieces manageable after that.

Still--the first time I bought it (at a Whole Foods), I happened to get a package that wasn't as tough. So I agree that the quality control could be better. And some pieces seem nicely seasoned while others feel a little like eating leather.

Great product, tastes excellent. Sometimes can be a little too dry and hard though, but still not impossible to chew unless you have dentures.

I just bought this product and the jerky was so hard I was afraid I would break a tooth.

This product was delivered as promised and quite tasty. Not too fishy, as some types of fish jerky can be.
