Raincoast Trading Global Wild Skipjack Tuna Pouch Mediterranean Wild Caught Pole and Line Certified Sustainable High Protein Ready to Eat No Draining No Mess - Pack of 6 2.6oz Pouches

Although this tuna doesn't come from the higher quality albacore, skipjack tuna supposedly contains less mercury because of its smaller size and shorter life span. When mixed with a bit of oil and Thai chili sauce, as this is, it doesn't matter that the meat isn't as white or as firm. All that matters is flavor, and this has it. It's spicy and moist and can go right on a sandwich or salad without your having to add mayo or anything else. At only 80 calories per serving, it is a flavorful meal addition for when you're trying to cut calories but not protein. But you have to like spicy food. People who don't normally eat spicy hot food will find this overwhelming.Each packet contains 2.6 oz. of prepared tuna, a little less than half a regular-size can. Surprisingly, because most skipjack is caught in nets, this tuna is pole and line caught. I don't know what it means to be "individually caught from an MSC certified fishery in the Maldive Island, " since you usually don't go fishing in a fish farm. It is also a product of Thailand, which might be why it sought MSC certification, since that country isn't otherwise known for good seafood practices. Regardless, this package is labeled as coming from a sustainable fishery.These packets of tuna are great for a quick lunch or pack for camping or a hike. If you want, you can eat it right out of the bag. The shelf life of my packets are 14 months into the future.-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

My husband and I love canned and pouch tuna and consume it often. It's a healthy, tasty meal option that really helps us up our protein consumption.Canned tuna can go either way. When soaked in water or oil, sometimes the texture gets incredibly mushy resulting in a bland, flavorless tuna. Pouch tuna normally has a better texture and flavor which is definitely the case with the the Raincoat Global Mediterranean Tuna.This tuna is ready to eat. You just tear open the package and you are good to go! No draining, no mess!The skipjack tuna is seasoned with sundried tomatoes, water, olive oil, basil, oregano, and salt. I was afraid that some of those stronger flavors would overpower the tuna but they didn't at all! The natural tasting tuna flavor was still able to shine through without tasting overly fishy.We didn't find the tuna to be overly soft or mushy. It has just the right amount of firmness to it. We used ours in pita pockets and in wraps and it was delicious!I'm a little confused by the advertising. The title mentions that the tuna is caught in the Pacific Northwest but then it also says that it is pole and line caught from the Maldives. I did not deduct an additional star for this as I truly think this is just a clerical error. The title also mentions canned tuna and this is a pouch. Might be something to look at and correct!

I don't normally comment about price to often anymore, but right off the bat, I like this product. You receive 6 packets for $10. This is awesome because it is pole and line caught. It is MSC (Marine Steward Council) certified. This means that it is certified not to methods that deplete natural supply. The fishing companies do not cause serious harm to other life in the sea. For my family, this is a big deal anymore. Not all of our fish is sustainably priced sometimes especially canned fish can get extremely expensive and is out of our budget, but I do seek out the places that offer fish that is responsibly caught and sustainable. For this tuna to be only $10 and MSC certified/ pole and line caught, this is very affordable for me.Opening the package- this tuna is literally able to be eaten out of the bag. It opens neatly and there is not a lot of liquid just enough to keep the tuna moist.Flavor- anymore, I can never judge when something is going to be spicy or not by reading the package or description. I have order spicy sushi from restaurants that can range from barely spicy to a much higher spice level than I care for. It makes purchasing foods difficult. In this case, thai chili has a lot of kick to it. This is NOT for someone who is spice heat intolerant. The flavor is sweet with a spicy kick. It is excellent tasting. The spice level I put around 6/7 on a scale of 1-10. 10 being the hottest. The flavor is so good though that I want to keep eating it and I am not one for super spicy foods.1 pouch is one serving. 80 calories. 14 grams of protein.

A bit too salty but delicious !

Great for if you’re on travelling or a fast lunch very tasty good with crackers or vegetables definitely would order again maybe in a different flavour

This wild skipjack tuna is very tasty & goes great with pasta, salad or on a bun. Very flavourful & a nice zing at the end! I would order again👍Though a bit pricey but you are paying for pole & line caught, not enmass fishing plus ready to eat. You get what you pay for, 😊

It really spices up the flavours but be warned it has a kick to it.

I love the taste! Ok price.
