Less Tuna per can, but a much better buy now!,
By Honest Reviewer "James A. Dobson" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wild Planet Sustainably Caught Wild Albacore Tuna, 5 Ounce Cans (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
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!!!

Nutritious and satisfying,
By Truth Seeker & Reader (Westland, MI) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wild Planet Sustainably Caught Wild Albacore Tuna, 5 Ounce Cans (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
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. :)

NOT THE SAME,
By John Johnson (BEL AIR, MD, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wild Planet Sustainably Caught Wild Albacore Tuna, 5 Ounce Cans (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
I have been buying this for years and loved it. Then recently the taste has changed. A little searching revealed that they have moved their fishing grounds to Vietnam. Not the same fish-not the same taste. And now that Japan has polluted the ocean around Asia from their nuke nightmare, I am looking for another tuna company.
