I occasionally look for a new can of tuna and I wanted to share my thoughts on Trader Joe’s Chunk Light Skipjack Tuna in Water with Sea Salt. Sometimes I want a lean protein in my diet and fish fits the bill. I like my canned tuna to look tender and juicy without being held together by weird fish jelly. It should taste good too. Also, I prefer to eat smaller fish because they have less of a chance to bio-accumulate bad things like mercury. Trader Joe’s canned tuna looks fresh and pinkish (not dead grey), tastes moist and delicious (some other tunas taste dry despite being immersed in water) and has just the right amount of salt. Also, skipjack tuna grow up to 1 meter in length, so they are not the super huge tuna we see on television. The can’s label says the fish are “pole and line caught” and there is an emblem saying “Dolphin Safe”. It’s really one of the best cans of tuna that I’ve had. Give it a try! One 4 ounce can goes for $1.69, so that’s $0.42 per ounce for those that care about the unit cost. That’s a great price for a great can of tuna. Also, the whole can has 110 calories, which is 25g protein, 0g carbs and 0.5g fat. Lean indeed!
