Solid white albacore = something from the sea that is pallatable.
Chunk light tuna = fish eyes/balls/dicks/guts/ass.

But is there any nutritional difference? Like does chunk light have more salt or something like that?

If there is some reason that you are concerned about salt (and I generally do not) you can buy sodium free tuna. My market sells it. Better yet buy fresh tuna and make it yourself. O sodium and zillions times better than the stuff from the can.Last edited by beenie; 04-10-2005 at 01:53 PM.

Another thing to consider is that albacore has higher mercury concentration. I considered it but I can't stand the chunk light any more. I don't buy into too much of the mercury hype but I don't go nuts on the tuna any more. Like to mix in salmon and top sirloin steaks.

Frankly, there isn't much you can do about it.

For instance, a can Clover Leaf Chunk Light Tuna contains roughly 3g of protein less than a can of Clover Leaf Albacore canned tuna... per can, with indentical drained weights.

You'll have a higher fat content in Solid than in Chunk light

Check this out by the Dept of Health and Human services. It shows canned light in the low mercury section with .12 mean. Salmon, fresh or frozen is only .01.....
Also check out the Albacore (.35) and fresh/frozen tuna (.38)
So I would say it shows pretty good data that eating a piece of fresh tuna has about 38 times more mercury then a piece of fresh salmon.

Not that it has anything to do with nutrition or protein, but albacore isn't really tuna. It's called False Albacore (fake tuna). Mercury content has more to do with where and when the fish was caught than anything. For instance, where I live, sometimes they say not to eat the mackerel out of the ocean because of mercury, and sometimes it's ok.
