    I'm not sure what you mean by best-best tasting? best value? best nutritional info?
    Anyway I just get plain old canned tuna in water, after a bazillion cans it all tastes the same.

    jinx, your avatar is fantastic...

    but tuna, is tuna, is tuna... like getbigger said... after so many cans, it's all basically the same. Nutrionally, you'll probably find very little difference in all of them.

    I'll agree with Jinx. I only eat solid white albacore. Just add a little Louisiana hot sauce and its good to go.

    Mercury in Tuna

    See this link:

    According to the FDA, we shouldn't be eating more than 6 oz of tuna per week.

    Albacore is probably the worst type of fish one can eat. I prefer other type of Tuna or eat Tilapia.

    FYI, for those interested in the type of fish and their mercury content.
