Canned Skipjack Tuna

Canned Skipjack Tuna

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned skipjack tuna is a precooked, shelf-stable preparation of a smaller, fast-growing tuna species prized for its mild flavor and moist, flaky texture. This affordable option provides lean protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids while containing lower mercury levels than larger tuna varieties like albacore. Drained and ready to eat, it serves as a versatile protein source for salads, sandwiches, and quick meals, with skipjack being one of the most sustainably harvested tuna species globally.
