Best canned tuna!

My husband and I are not Paleo...but our diet is pretty similar. Lots of protein and very few carbs, and we eat lots of organic fruits and vegetables. One of my favorite lunches is a can of tuna, in olive oil, with capers, onions and olives. But the brand of fish I had been using switched to soybean oil instead, and it had a nasty flavor. I went to the supermarket, and found that most of the other brands were packed in soybean oil too! Came home and hit the computer and quickly found that Amazon was the place to shop for what I wanted, and StarKist Selects Solid Light tuna in extra virgin olive oil was precisely what I was looking for! First of all, if you have been eating water packed tuna, you need to try this and discover the amazing taste difference! Oil keeps the tuna tasting fresh, and preserves the texture of the flesh. Water simply dilutes the taste and actually destroys the texture. The extra virgin olive oil has a light and delicate flavor that really compliments the tuna, and each can is a true 'slice' of the fish, not a mess of compacted flakes like some other brands. The price is incredibly reasonable, and Prime will get this to your house in no time at all. Try it and see the difference for yourself!

Better than Genova

I have been purchasing Genova light tuna in olive oil from Amazon for a few years - it's the only tuna we preferred, light & packed in oil. However, the case price recently jumped to nearly double and so I decided to try this Starkist version. Despite the lower weight per can - 4.5 ounces vs. 5 ounces for Genova, the net weight of tuna is the same - 4 ounces. Why? Because there's less liquid in the can, the tuna is more tightly packed, and you get the same amount of delicious tuna protein. I tried my first can yesterday simply over greens with a bit of lemon juice and enjoyed it tremendously. Did not drain it, but used the small amount of EVOO to dress my greens. Just the right amount of salt, too - not overly salty. My new favorite!

Enjoy the Tuna and Try My Simple Recipe

Great price! Great flavor! If you haven't tried Yellowfin Tuna in olive oil, I highly recommend the StarKist brand. The flavor is stronger than traditional tuna, but if you like salmon and other such highly flavored fish you will like this. My recipe: the tuna, and chopped mild onion, a couple small slices of pickled jalapeno chopped, and a tablespoon of mayonnaise mixed together and then serve on your favorite lettuce. We like Boston lettuce. For bread we have slices of sourdough. Of course rye would work well too. If you have good fresh tomatoes where you live, then add them too!

Yellow tuna is certainly a subtly different taste than we are used to

We've always eaten "white" or "light" tuna in water, in recent years all of them seem to list "vegetable broth" as an ingredient. While I have nothing against vegetable broth, a family member's food allergies keep us from purchasing items with unknown or unspecified ingredients. We found this in the supermarket (but at a crazy high price per can). Yellow tuna is certainly a subtly different taste than we are used to -- it has more flavor than the usual white or light. I had not purchased tuna in oil for years, I always hated the over-oiled product. This tuna comes with just the right amount of Olive oil (probably because the oil is more expensive to begin with), there was no need to drain (or even rinse!) it before consumption, as compared to other tunas.

Perfect for Tuna Mayo Roll (Tuna Gimbap)

I bought this tuna can to try my Tuna Mayo Roll recipe. It tasted awesome. How I did with this Yellowfin Tuna can is, strain oil after opening the can, make sure that there is no excess oil left, and stir with mayo(Kraft Real Mayonnaise). When everything is ready, place the seaweed on a flat surface, add rice, mayo tuna, finely chopped cucumber sticks and yellow pickled radish sticks, egg strips and avocado, roll everything in. I got so many compliments on my tuna mayo roll. The price is fair, taste is great!

great product - currently way overpriced at .80 per ounce

StarKist Seletcs yellowfin tuna in olive oil 4 pack: The product is great but no one should pay more than about 30 cents per ounce. you can get it in your local grocery store. I was very happy to pay amazon slightly more but there is no way Im paying three to four times as much. The current price for this is 80 cents per ounce at 14.48 for one four pack. I first bought this same product for about six dollars. Great product - way overpriced.

Great tuna

My son loves this tuna and we can't buy it where I live. The olive oil brings out the flavor much more than water. And, the olive oil is good for you. They try to tell us they are taking the oil out of the tuna for our own good but really it's just cheaper for the manufacturer. Most of the time we drain the oil off so we are just getting a small amount.

Tuna Lover

Always great to have tuna on hand for a quick meal. I prefer tuna in olive oil. I even use in a pinch when I’m out of dog food because they beg for some when I’m eating it! I just made tuna croquettes the other day.

High Quality Yellowfin Tuna

I like solid albacore tuna, but prefer yellowfin due to the richer taste and texture. I also prefer the tuna packed in EVOO rather than tuna for the enhanced flavor. There are several good brands, but StarKist is right up near the top in terms of quality. Plus, the price is good in comparison with some other brands. All of the varieties are good, both the plain and "flavored." I can't always find the StarKist yellowfin varieties in the local groceries, so it's nice to be able to buy through Amazon and get home delivery.

This is the tastiest canned tuna of them all

My husband eats two cans a day and has for years. He loves it. The Yellowfin in EVOO doesn't taste as good as the White Albacore in EVOO. I'm having trouble finding it locally....not at Walmart anymore...and only at Publix. Even though it costs more thru Amazon, I'm willing to pay the extra when I can't find it locally. ETA: Since I posted this review my husband changed to the solid yellowfin in EVOO and not only is it cheaper...$5.97 for a 4 pack at Walmart or about $1.50 per can...but he thinks it tastes much better than he remembered and better than the solid white albacore.
