This tuna is the best I've ever had. I stopped eating a lot of tuna after doing some research and realizing that most tuna is not healthy and has a lot of heavy metals and other toxins. Once I found out about this brand, I read up on how they test each tuna and only can those that pass their strict criteria. The result is an extremely tasty slap of tuna in a can that's healthier than pretty much any other tuna out there.
This is definitely the only brand of canned tuna I'll purchase. My personal stance on meats and seafood is to purchase the highest quality that you can afford and eat less of it. You really don't need a ton of it in your diet to be healthy, so make sure what you're eating is high quality. Great product and it's inspiring to see that there are companies that care about quality.
The Good:
• Low mercury – they guarantee they test each piece of tuna to ensure the lowest mercury
• No aftertaste or anything weird…I’ve had bad experiences with the mainstream brands
• Big Chunks that are pinkish. Actually, looks like tuna, not something processed
• The taste for me was great. Its tasted like Tuna, but not really the “fishy” type. I did taste the salt…I may try the one with no salt added
• The cans are BPA free…important these days
Other thoughts:
• I found out about this through Shark Tank and decided to purchase it. I was just eating sardines to get my fish oils but it would be good to supplement this in
• I still feel that any amount of mercury isn’t good so I plan on eating 1 can a week maximum
The Bottom Line:
I try to stick to a whole food diet…and its tough as many of you know. I also like to eat fish, but don’t want the heavy metal accumulation. I went with this product because of their commitment to supplying low mercury Tuna…and guaranteeing it. Although I can’t test the product to verify, they did show testimonials online and on Shark Tank.
I like several things about this product.
First and foremost, it's very low in mercury.
Second, it tastes good. It's good for making tuna salad. Mix it with some onions and cherry tomatoes and avocado mayonnaise for a great paleo treat.
Third, like all tuna, it contains PS (phosphatidyl serine), which is good for brain health. And of course it's high in protein and very low carb.
Great stuff :) It's nice to be able to eat tuna again.
Very expensive compared the the stuff on the supermarket shelf, and worth every penny to those of us who care about the issues involved. Makes a GREAT Tuna salad and we appreciate the fact that someone else out these cares enough to provide this product.
Well, we all know the dangers of fish now, with our polluted waters that no one seems to care much about, in terms of stopping the pollution on any seriously impactful level, so now, more than ever, it matters what you're putting into your body (and even more importantly into your children's bodies), in terms of the "you are what you eat" reality.
I haven't wanted to give up tuna, but about the best I could find was from Wild Planet, and they are definitely on the ball about trying to get safe products to consumers, and I was pretty happy with their tuna, and then I saw this at a store, bought a can and tried it, and just preferred the taste of this tuna, plus I was encouraged by the fact that they do claim to have absolute lowest risk (eg the "safest") tuna on the market.
So, a pretty straight forward review -- tastes fantastic and is the most safest you can buy, so it seems pretty clear that any other choice is not as good, compared to this product, primarily if staying healthy is the priority. Not much point including fish in one's range if dietary choices, for health reasons, if the fish kills us, right?
Yes, "safe" fish costs more (isn't that a crazy fact??) but obviously it is more than worth it, and smart choices in eating, plus a good range of supplements, thus far have kept me out of the clutches of the failing disaster of our so-called medical system, so I am just really thankful to the vendors out there who make products like this.
Bad water, bad air, bad food -- it's a troubling time to be alive, and, like the rest of human problems, it's the mess we've made, so it's always a pleasure to find a way to work around bad options, to find something good like this.
Highly recommend!!!

Description
√ MERCURY TESTED
We hand pick premium wild tuna, then test each and every one to a mercury limit that is ten times (10x) lower than the FDA action limit. Safe Catch Elite is the only brand of tuna that meets Consumer Reports’ “Low Mercury” criteria set for pregnant women and children. Safe Catch Elite is the official tuna of the American Pregnancy Association.
√ ARTISAN COOK PROCESS
Most canned tuna loses flavor and the majority of Omega 3s due to precooking and machine processing. We hand pack premium raw wild tuna steaks to retain all the vital Omega 3 oils and nutrients and then slow cook them to perfection.
√ NOTHING ADDED, NOTHING DRAINED
We don’t add oil, water, fillers, preservatives, or GMO-Soy broth to our tuna. It’s just pure wild tuna. Just empty the can into a bowl and mix together so the tuna reabsorbs any natural fish oils. Please do not drain.
√ SUSTAINABLY CAUGHT
Our Elite tuna is wild and sustainably caught without using FADs or long lines. We are a proud partner of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program.
*Note – The actual label received may differ from product photo above. We are in the process of transitioning our labels. The product remains the same deliciously pure tuna as always.
Ingredients: Skipjack tuna, salt
I normally only eat white albacore tuna. This seemed to be chunk light-ish. It was very good, but I do think I will order the albacore next time. LOVE the strict mercury guidelines that your company uses! My family thanks you as we eat a lot of tuna.
Tastes great and my husband, who travels a lot, loves the convenience of the pull-top cans. He just pops it open and dumps it onto a salad, juice and all.
*Hand-cut and packed, so it retains more of the Omega-3's than traditional twice-cooked canned tuna, and tastes much better. No added water or oil.
*Sustainably wild-caught from responsibly managed fisheries. Each lot has a Fisheries Certificate of Origin (heavily regulated by US Dept of Commerce). No forced labor boats
*BPA-free cans
*This 'Elite Tuna" is skipjack (sustainable and low mercury), school-caught without fish aggregating-devices,. FADs make it easier to catch tuna, but lots of other fish/sea-life are caught, killed, and discarded in the process.
This brand is more expensive, but as they say -- every time you spend a dollar, you vote. I'm fortunate to have the option to spend a little more for something that tastes great and is better for me and the planet.
Taste and texture-wise, this is very good tuna. The quality is consistent and I have re-ordered it a few times. I am just hoping to God that they are being correct and honest about the low-mercury content, especially since that is what we are paying more for. Before discovering this, I had not eaten canned tuna more than 8-10 times a year because of the mercury. Now, I eat this more than once a week. I just lament that if we weren't so intent on poisoning our oceans, I wouldn't have to pay so much to eat "less polluted" tuna!
We saw this tuna brand on shark tank awhile back but unfortunately it’s not available at any of the stores we regularly shop at even though the internet claims it’s available at several.
Fish can be super good for you, but due to environmental toxins some fish shouldn’t be eaten with much frequency. One of our (then) baby’s favorite form of protein was tuna, but we couldn’t give it to him very often because parents are advised against it. So we started ordering safe catch through amazon and now our son and his pregnant mother (me) can eat tuna multiple times per week if we’d like with less worry. We also don’t need to cut back on other fish we eat to compensate for mercury content which is great because we love grilled salmon and like to eat that at least once per week.
I tell every parent I can about safe catch to spread the word. Especially when someone tries to warn me about giving my son tuna or eating it while pregnant.
I was kind of shocked when I found out that tinned fish could be high in mercury and PCBs and other pollutants. It's obvious, but for some reason I just thought there would be a warning on tuna cans or something because they are processed, unlike fresh fish that there wouldn't be a testing opportunity (Sigh, I'm getting over this trusting manufacturer thing, quickly). I then started trying to find any companies that might have low contaminants or even test for them. Safe Catch has seemed to me to be the best company, hands down. They test all their fish and state that they have a lower threshold than the federal guidelines. So, I ONLY eat Safe Catch salmon and tuna now. It's more expensive, but it's not really safe to eat these the way I did as a kid anyway. I would rather have quality and safety, personally.
As for the taste and appearance, the tuna and salmon look a lot more like fish than most canned fish. They are in obvious fillets and are lightly packed. Because they are not so tightly packed, it's easy to get the fillets out intact. The taste is wonderful! Definitely yummy.
