Wild Albacore Tuna

Pro: This is as healthy as Tuna gets, simply because they are smaller when pole caught and haven't accumulated as much mercury as the older larger tuna have. Their Wild Caught Salmon is sourced the same way and in less contaminated seas. Pollution is a reality in our world, but we at least have a better choice with Wild Planet. Minimally processed, cooked in the can with the juices still preserved in the can, no salt added, no oils. Pure fish, no additives or artificial dyes. Taste the difference. Please don't drain the juices in the can, allow the juice to be mixed back into the fish, and then it will be moist, not dry. I do add organic spices like Dill weed, sometimes mashed avocado, fresh diced celery and a few green or black chopped olives to taste and skip the bread. It's incredibly satisfying and I eat the whole thing in one serving. It also comes in an easy to open pull top lid so you don't need a can opener, just a small bowl to remix the juices with the hand packed tuna. I find it easier to use a fork than a knife or spoon to minimize the splash from tuna juice when you put it into a small bowl. Enjoy! Con: Nothing that isn't a problem with everything we eat compared to hundreds of years ago. I like tuna and salmon in my diet several times a week, no skin or bones and no salt, water, oils, or additives to either the salmon or tuna. This albacore is the best, mild taste and I can use fresh herbs and add whatever I'm in the mood for each time. Pickle, olives, celery, or simply in the bowl with a fork to integrate the juice for a protein treat. It isn't a beef steak type, but it IS solid tuna and somewhat difficult to separate it from the can and that's a good thing! Updated on January11, 2026: I really wanted to support this company but the price increased $7.00 for the same product from the last time on Subscribe & Save. I can't keep up with that extreme inflation. I'll have to watch for future sales opportunities that happen a few times a year instead of S&S now. Still one of the Best Safe Wild Albacore Tuna commercially available.

This tuna is high-quality and delicious. I have suggested to multiple people to add this to their subscribe and save orders, as we do. The price beats any grocery store price and tuna is an excellent pantry staple. We use them to make tuna rice bowls for a quick lunch or dinner (one can per person) or tuna pasta for dinner. It is nice that you can open the can without a can opener. I love that these are sustainably caught and with no added salt. One can is a perfect portion for an adult serving. They also make great tuna salad.

High quality albacore tuna, packed in very little water. Very fresh and tasty.

Best Tuna, hands down. This is real CHUNK tuna and tastes great.. Not like chicken of the sea or other store brands, which calls fall apart pieces "chunk"

I have purchased canned tuna from Vital Choice a few times (12 - 24 cans at a time) and I was trying to find another source that wouldn't be as expensive. A 6oz can from VC is $8-10 depending on whether I catch a discount. I decided to try Wild Planet. We have purchased some of their other canned salmon and it wasn't bad. The tuna is good but it doesn't stand out as being really good to us. We buy the no sale added version and granted, a little salt can help give anything a lift, but tuna come out of the ocean and have natural sodium content. We buy no salt added tuna from VC though and there is a noticeable (to us) difference in the flavor and texture. We prefer the VC tuna and are back to spending more than we wish we had to but I guess that means it's worth it. Our Maine Coon cats like drinking the juice from the can and since there's no added salt, we always give it to them. They eat some of the tuna too but I noticed that they don't gobble it up the way they do when we give them a little of the VC tuna. We don't give them much at that price, but who can say no to a Maine Coon? :) Anyhow, for the price compared to VC, yes, this tuna is decent. But if you are picky about flavor, I think VC is the way to go. Also, VC is guaranteed lower mercury content because they work with a specific fisherman who gives them only fish that are under a certain size. That matters too.

It’s a bit more of an investment than the bargain brands, but the taste and nutritional profile make it worth every penny. If you appreciate clean, high-quality protein, this is the only tuna you’ll want in your cupboard.

Delicious and healthy- very low mercury and arsenic. Line caught, no nets

Short Version: Wild Planet albacore tuna is THE BEST - you will love it. Long Version: I was shopping for necessities during the pandemic at Costco. They re-configured the warehouses during that time (aisles blocked off in strange ways) and the checkout lines wrapped around the store. Because of all this, one became bff's w their fellow masked check-out line neighbor (having over an hour+ to chat). I noticed that the woman next to me had shed-loads of Wild Planet tuna in her cart so I asked her about it. She raved and raved. I explained that for no apparent reason, I had become intolerant of commercial albacore tunas (all brands - BumbleBee, Chicken ofthe Sea, Starkist, etc caused weird GERD symptoms)?! I can eat whole habaneros so this didn't make sense. But, it meant that I could no longer buy canned tuna. I don't know what these companies are doing to their albacore but it is a BAD way to process tuna! Tuna that causes esophageal burning after consumption?! She said that the weird GERD/acid reflux that other commercial tunas trigger will NOT happen w Wild Planet. I still didn't add any to my cart, though. Once I got home, I saw that I had paid for a 6-pack of Wild Planet no-salt albacore (haha - this woman snuck it into my cart without my noticing). She was right. Seriously - Wild Planet tuna is THE BEST. I have become a convert and now I buy Wild Planet in bulk. Other companies are making attempts to emulate Wild Planet (some even use the same cannery - like Natural Catch tuna) but none of them can compare to Wild Planet since WP tuna is cooked once, in the can and other companies cook + process tuna 2+ times (and use weird chemicals). I tried Natural Catch but it was rubbery and bad. Buying by the case translates into a budget-friendly price (like $3.50 or less p can). Great price. No-carb. Low-fat. High-protein. Delicious solid tuna steaks. Healthy. Sustainably poll line-caught. This is a great company! If I could sneak a can of Wild Planet albacore into your Amazon cart, I would! I know that you would love it. That goes double for any who are experiencing strange GERD symptoms after consuming commercial canned tunas - this one won't cause acid reflux.

Great product! So much better than the usual skipjack variety. Highly recommend.

La verdad ya estaba harta del atún típico de siempre… tipo Dolores, Herdez y esas marcas que compras por costumbre pero que no están nada especiales. Quería cambiar a algo de mejor calidad y decidí probar este… y wow, sí se nota cañón la diferencia. El sabor es mucho más limpio, la textura mejor, y en general se siente como un producto de mucho más nivel. Además, me encanta que venga en presentación de varios porque así ya tengo para rato. Y siendo sincera, hasta lo disfrutas más y no te queda esa sensación rara de estar comiendo cualquier cosa. Definitivamente lo voy a volver a comprar, sobre todo porque donde vivo no es fácil encontrar este tipo de marcas.
