Sustainable Seas’ product line includes: Solid Albacore, Solid Light Tuna,Wild Albacore tuna,Wild Skipjack Light Tuna, and their newest addition,Yellowfin Tuna. Both the Albacore and Light tunas ave available with salt and without salt in their packing- great for those on low-salt diets!
You may know Yellowfintuna by it's Hawaiian name- Ahi- and it's bright red meat color ! the folks LOVE this canned tuna, as it allows them to make a ahi sashimi styled Hawaiian poke, that they got used to eating over there! It's hard to get great Yellowfin where we live, so being able to find it in a can is a blessing indeed!
Skipjack tuna is another bright red tuna, that is popular in sushi dishes. It also can sub in for the Yellowfin on traditional Ahi recipes.
You may ask what males 'wild' tuna, 'wild'as aren't all caught tuna 'wild'? Well believe it or not, there are actually tuna 'farms' aka fisheries, where tuna are grown and never live in the wild! AHA!.And as anyone can tell you, wild meat tends to taste better than meat that is kept in small tanks and fed the same thing all the time. It's very similar to the typical free-range/caged chicken debate.
Personally you might not be able to tell that the tuna is 'wild' bu sight, but you will by taste. To me, it has a less 'fishy' smell if that makes sense.The smell isn't overriding the flavor. I can actually eat the wild tuna straight from the can with nothing on it. You can also see that the wild tuna is meatier! Each time we've opened the cans of Wild tuna,we've forgotten to wrap the can in plastic bags and the cat has actually knocked over the garbage can to get the last remnants out of the can! As she never does this, you know this is some great tasting tuna!
Sustainable Seas tunas are positioned at a lower retail price point than other natural brands, and feature the delicious flavor of traditional tuna packed in water. Also, Sustainable Seas Tuna bolsters high levels of Omega 3 (2,320 mg Omega-3 per can). Sustainable Seas’ Solid Albacore (SRP of $3.29), Solid Light Tuna (SRP of $2.49) and Yellowfin Tuna (SRP of $2.99 - $3.49) are packed in BPA-free cans. The line is now available at natural food and conventional grocery stores nationwide! We love this new lineof tuna and you will too, once you have tried it!
