5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent canned tuna May 23, 2010

By Smashing Wool

This is a very good choice for canned tuna. The taste is excellent. The texture is far superior to typical "supermarket" chunk light canned tuna brands (have you noticed in recent years they seem like a can of sawdust instead of chunks of tuna?). While it isn't quite as "moist" as tuna packed in oil, it is far more "moist" than tuna packed in water. There is some liquid in the can (but far less than in cheaper brands or water packed tuna), but the liquid is literally just tuna juices, like a tuna broth - no added water or oils are added. I don't even drain the juice off, I simply mix it back in while flaking the tuna; the juicy broth is reabsorbed. All the omega-3 fatty acids are retained this way - why discard all that goodness down the drain?Wild Planet wild skipjack light tuna consists of larger and firm filet chunks, yet easily flakes with a fork.

I could buy this very same tuna at a local store, but at much higher per can cost. I prefer the convenience and lower cost of case buying via Amazon it's always ready for an easy and nutritious meal or snack my 5th grader can prepare himself or when I need multiple cans to make tuna casserole, tuna skillet pie or loaf, tuna patties, or tuna fritters for the family. When I get down to the third can, I reorder for fast free Prime delivery to my door. Saves time, effort, and money.

As far as I've been able to determine (subject to change if I learn otherwise), if one is buying canned tuna, this is a good choice for sustainability (better catch methods) and lower mercury (smaller tuna species). The can lining is BPA-free, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Tuna March 8, 2010

By W. Creasey

This Tuna is easily the best canned tuna you will ever eat. What's also great is it's sustainable and low mercury. If your like me you grew up with chicken of the sea, and others like it, once you try this tuna you will never go back. Their albacore is delicious as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Believe the 5 star reviews! March 8, 2011

This brand of tuna well deserves all the 5 star reviews. It IS tasty tuna chunks w/ a small amt. of creamy pink juice that I used instead of squeezing out to make tuna salad.There is no fishy taste as it is more like fresh tuna. I compare this tuna to switching from box wine to bottle wine-once you make the leap to this tuna you will never want to go back to the typical grocery store variety or even the higher grade brands available on Amazon. The 3 brands I used to buy on Amazon were Polar's yellowfin steak, Natural Value's yellowfin, and Wild Oats light tongol, all packed in water. Until I tried this brand I was content w/ those brands. I just hope Amazon continues to carry this brand and it stays at this price point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tuna! December 5, 2010

By doctorsirena VINE™ VOICE

This tuna is very flavorful and I like that the product only contains tuna and salt. No water or oil or additives similar to MSG and it is not pulverized mushy little pieces like most supermarket tuna. The tuna is in big pieces that I flake into large chunks and mix with the juice in the can. I prefer this skipjack to the albacore, as it is more flavorful and moister. Great for pasta salads, pasta main dishes, on a lettuce salad, sandwiches, tuna patties or for quick appetizer dips, etc, etc. Even good just eating plain out of the can. I highly recommend the excellent recipe from Triscuit box by Rachael Ray - Tuna and White Bean Salad - can Google to find it online. This tuna is a good value for the price.

I don't often write reviews, so it says a lot that I'd take the time to write about this tuna. This tuna is much, much better than your typical Chicken of the Sea or other common brand. It is unctuous and meaty without any fishiness at all. I also like the fact that each can lists the Omega 3 amounts (both DHA and EPA). I actually like the skipjack tuna of this brand better than the albacore. Highly recommended.

This is by far the best tasting tuna I have ever had. I guess that I didn't know that tuna could taste so good. I didn't know what I was missing, but now I never want to go back.
Like others have said, this is definitely not your regular grocery store tuna.
I love the pop off top, and that there is no need to drain the juice. Easy, convenient and delicious!
I have subscribed to this product and will continue to get it as long as it is offered. It is wild caught, low in mercury, naturally high in omega-3 fatty acids, and is the ONLY brand of tuna that I have been able to find that comes in BPA-free cans! I would recommend to anyone and everyone!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad. Price increase since then July 21, 2011

By S. Sheola

I like the fact that the cans are BPA free, the fish troll or pole caught, and are smaller with lower mercury. The first can seemed a bit strong tasting and salty (I'm supposed to be low sodium). The second time around I used a bit more mayo, added some fresh coriander, lemon juice and pepper and it tasted better. It's only cooked once, in the can (with no water added), but it is made from tuna that has been frozen. Don't know if that is common in the industry or not.
Since I ordered in June it seems the price went up about $.58 a can on the subscription plan.

Very delicious Tuna. I choose the LIGHT variety as it contains less mercury than the ALBACORE or WHITE. It is very delicious and the fact that it is sustainably caught makes it so worth the extra cost. With subscribe and save, the cost actually isn't much more than brands found at most grocery stores - but the quality is so much better!!!
