Skipjack Tuna, Canned in Oil, Drained
Skipjack tuna is a saltwater fish commonly preserved in oil and sold in shelf-stable cans, with drained preparations reducing excess oil while retaining a moist, firm texture. This variety offers concentrated protein and omega-3 fatty acids but contains more calories and sodium than water-packed versions due to the oil brine. Its bold, savory flavor makes it a practical protein source for salads, sandwiches, and quick meals, though the canning process softens the flesh compared to fresh-cooked skipjack.
