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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 canned tuna on the market. I love the albacore as well, but the flavor of the Skipjack is amazing. The salty flavor of the natural oil just makes my mouth water. Wild Caught Tuna has way more flavor than anything farm raised and Wild Planet is delivering a product that is not only wild caught, but sustainable. I've eaten dozens of cans of this stuff over the last year and can only wish that I had found it sooner. It is great for a snack or even for a whole meal. It isn't packed in anything except for its own natural oils so you are getting 100% REAL Tuna.

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!!!

Mostly we eat tuna in salad or heated in casserole type dishes, so the flavor is not as critical to us as it would be to some people who eat their tuna almost plain from the can. However, when combined with chopped sweet onion, celery, olive oil and fresh lemon juice, this tuna is very tasty.

I am willing to pay extra for this tuna mostly because of the BPA free can although the quality doesn't seem to me to be higher than other premium "health" brands such as Natural Sea. I have also purchased the Wild Planet brand of albacore tuna and personally prefer the taste and texture of this skipjack tuna - even though it is, as others have mentioned, quite salty tasting.

Fantastic tuna- one I can feel safe about eating. The flavor is unmatched by any other brand on the market and it is not full of water or oil, so your money is buying nice, chunk tuna- not liquid and small flakes of tasteless fish. Sustainable harvest practices and tested for mercury!!! I highly recommend!!
