Wild PlanetAlbacore Wild Tuna, Sea Salt, Canned Tuna, Sustainably Wild-Caught, Pole & Line, 5 Ounce(Pack of 4)

This was the first time I bought Wild Planet Albacore Tuna. The flavor was great and I stored it in the refrigerator after I made Tuna Salad and unlike the tuna you buy in stores, it never got runny and retained flavor until it was gone. Even though it's a little more expensive, it is well worth it. I have two friends that have already bought some after I told them how good it was and they love ❤️ love it too. Fantastic food and good for you too with less mercury.

very little water, good flavor, not as dry as some, better flavor than most, still dry like most water-packed albacore. Tuna was chunked and not in one fillet so not as high quality of a fish piece as I have seen. I was not blown away but then I am not by water-packed albacore anymore since I have gone back to eating primarily oil-packed yellowfin. That is the taste of real tuna in my opinion. I can see that this is superior to most water-packed tuna but it is not something I would ever pay for again, You can't just a this out of the can like you can a quality Yellowfin in olive oil. Tuna should be preserved in olive oil.

This is VERY good tuna; MUCH better than the big brands most of us grew up with.But what ISN’T very good?The incredibly wasteful and unnecessary packaging of this product. As you can see in the photos below, it’s four cans per box, the box having reinforced sides and a hinged lid, more packaging to hold each individual can in place, and a large, glossy, four-color pamphlet.One would think that this was designed to hold expensive precious collectibles, not a few cans of tuna. They aren’t exactly Fabergé Eggs.Easily six times more cardboard than needed, if any at all. They could get by with a single-layer piece of cardboard folded over one side of the stacked cans, and either a simple paper or plastic (gasp!) band to hold it together. The brochure could be less than 1/4 its size and NOT printed on glossy paper, which is much more difficult to recycle, even if it does look nicer.And then, of course, Amazon puts it in their own cardboard box, along with plastic pillow cushioning. Do we really need to box an already overbuilt box that has plenty of space for a label? This one isn’t Wild Planet’s fault, though.For a food company which proudly and loudly touts it's sustainability bona fides, this packaging is insanely irresponsible. Yes, cardboard is a very recyclable material, but ONLY if it's disposed of properly, and ONLY if it actually gets recycled. It's now well-known that everything we've been putting in the recycling bin rarely actually makes it to a recycler. People that tend to care about sustainable foods (their target market), ALSO care about wasteful packaging.The big brands have gotten along just fine with minimum packaging all these years; why couldn't an innovative, eco-friendly company be able to do at least as good as them?Again, the tuna is very good, but I am hesitant to buy again due to the staggeringly excessive over-packaging. Wild Planet could save huge sums of money by slimming down the extravagant packaging, and the added warehousing and shipping costs involved in getting their products to the consumer. If nothing else, it’s a better bottom-line for them with NO sacrifice of quality. It’s not like the “New Coke” debacle from decades ago; their customers WON’T flee. The product doesn't need to change.I'm giving this three stars, bordering on only two, due to this issue. If this were just regular big brand tuna, I'd give it minus two stars if that were possible.Wild Planet, you have a VERY GOOD product here.Please remedy this error so we can all come back with confidence that we’re making the right choice.

Love this tuna and bought several times 4 pack for $15.88 and went to reorder and now it is $25.99. I know everything is going up, but ten dollars in the past 3 months is ridiculous. I refuse to buy it at this price

Hubby and I love a good tuna melt sandwich. We also have favorite recipes for tuna pasta salad and tuna mac and cheese. What we have been looking for is a high-quality, great tasting, non-oily Albacore tuna to make these recipes. Hubby looked at reviews and thought reviewers’ comments on Wild Planet canned tuna fit what we were looking for. It has a pull-tab opening top so a can opener is not required if you take it camping. When you open the can there is NO fishy smell – just clean, light tuna. The meat is firm and packed into the can, not floating in oil or water. The first can we made into our favorite tuna mac and cheese recipe and even the leftovers the next day did not have a fishy smell. Some people might think that tuna is tuna, but we really like Wild Planet Albacore wild tuna.
