Canned Skipjack Tuna in Water, Drained

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned skipjack tuna in water (drained) is a lean, shelf-stable protein source derived from a smaller tuna species with lower mercury levels compared to larger tuna varieties. The water-canning process preserves the fish’s mild flavor and flaky texture while minimizing fat content, offering a lower-calorie alternative to oil-packed tuna. Drained and ready to use, it serves as a convenient addition to salads and sandwiches, though sodium levels depend on brand-specific brining practices.
