This is dense tuna. I love it straight out of the can over salad greens, with a little olive oil, lemon juice, and capers. It is super high in omega-3s and just delicious. I have been eating this for years, and Amazon has a great deal on it. I am a student in a masters program (Physician Assistant) and always have cans of this in my locker for lunch in case I forget something. It has come in handy! It satisfies my hunger for hours because of all the protein and fat.
The taste is really strong, but that is what I like. Regarding the metallic taste, I have only tasted a metallic taste once and that was the unsalted variety. I have probably eaten 200 cans of this over the years and have only tasted that once. So I don't think it's a common problem.
I think this tuna is for someone who doesn't really want to have to add a bunch of stuff to it to make it palatable/taste good. It's a bit pricy, but well worth it for the convenience and nutritional value.
One thing to be cautious of is that if you want to put a lot of stuff in it, this might be a bit too salty for that. I find this pretty salty, but you'd have to judge yourself. I buy both the unsalted and the salted. If I'm making a tuna salad or tuna melts, I use the unsalted and add in salt to taste. Otherwise, I find it's too salty. Straight out of the can, though, the salted is the best way to go. :)

I was a very long-time loyal buyer of Wild Planet of Minimal Mercury Wild Troll-Caught Albacore Tuna until Wild Planet decided to eliminate the minimal mercury tuna and simultaneously cut the size of their can from 6oz to 5oz.
The surprising and very good news is that they also cut the price from $27 to $16. So the price actually went down from $4.50 per can to $2.67 per can. That brought the price per oz down from $0.77/oz to $0.55/oz. ---- a very substantial (almost 40%) savings! The quality is still very good, and it's actually a much better buy now.
On the minus side, I do not like the fact that Wild Planet decided to ditch the Minimal Mercury Albacore and instead is pushing it's Minimal Mercury Skip-jack tuna instead.
Additionally, I am not thrilled that this product is now coming from Vietnam---according to the product description. I prefer my troll caught albacore tuna to come from clean waters of Alaska or Oregon.
But in light of today's economy, getting such excellent tuna for almost 40% less --- only $0.55/oz when a closely equivalent version previously cost $0.77/oz is a remarkable and welcome change.
UPDATE! This product is going for $29.95 + shipping on the Wild Planet website. So the Amazon price of $16 is a super bargain and probably won't last. I am going to stock up while I still can!!!

My most recent purchase through Amazon was not good. It was Wild Planet Sustainably Caught Wild Albacore Tuna, 5 Ounce Cans (Pack of 6)
The tuna has an odd somewhat metallic taste and smell. I tried three of the cans and am concerned that they may have changed their source or methods.
I contacted the company but received no response.

Research other tuna products, their sourcing, processing, and then research Wild Planet. In addition to their quility processing, their selection of smaller fish, and the fact that the tuna is cooked in the can is quite different from say, Bumble Bee. Most others freeze the fish first, then bake it, which removes a lot of the desirable Omega 3 oils. This is sushi grade tuna, hand packed while raw.
Plus, the taste just blows all the others away. I've been using this product for quite some time, and have never had an experience such as the 1 star reviewer has. I would have to imagine, had that person requested a replacement or refund Amazon would have made it right.
I don't often buy the best product out there nor shop organic, but with tuna it is important to me to consume the best product I can obtain.

Simply some of the best tuna that you can find in a can. Fresh is clearly always better but not always feasible due to geographic location and/or cost and Wild Planet makes a great alternative here. Great tasting tuna, low mercury, bpa free, but still packed with protein & omega 3s and all the other benefits of eating seafood. In addition, it is simply convenient to keep around for those last minute meals when you simply have nothing ready. Product highly recommended for not only great tasting and healthy tuna but also focus on sustainable and ethical operations.

This is the real thing. Love it! There is an actual 5oz of tuna, and very little water. It has loads of flavor too. Common supermarket brands taste like cardboard to me - this does not. This is a premium product and the price reflects it. Buy it 'cause it is worth it! I recommend the 'Subscribe & Save'.

Well, Charlie had nothing on this tuna, since it leaves every other in the dust...or the ocean, at the bottom. You will not regret buying this. You'll wonder why you bought all the other competitors over the years.

This is Very Good Canned Tuna
One of the reasons this tuna tastes so much better than other brands is that they only cook it once, right in the can with no added liquid. Read more

Too much like fish ;)
I suppose, what could I expect? I'm always hoping all fish will be like halibut and uhu - dry, white, and tasteless.

Best tuna available
This is so worth the extra time to order & great price! All tuna is questionable as to quality of low mercury anymore. This is an excellent healthy choice

Best canned tuna ever, super high in omega-3
This is probably the highest quality canned tuna you can buy. It is super high in omega-3 because Wild Planet cooks the tuna in the can and does not drain all the goodness. Read more
