Canned Light Tuna in Oil, Drained

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned light tuna in oil, drained, is a preserved fish product featuring smaller tuna species like skipjack, which contain lower mercury levels than larger tuna varieties. The draining process reduces oil content while retaining a moister texture than water-packed versions, yielding 20-25 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving with moderate fat levels. This shelf-stable option is widely used in salads and sandwiches, offering a practical balance of food safety and lean protein for regular consumption.
