| Some Wild Planet products available-include single serving (for us, anyway) Albacore Wild Tuna-zip top pouch that is great for hikes, lunch boxes, or post race food for those who can't stomach the usual athlete food fare-but require protein. Fab...and Wild Planet only cooks its tuna 1x versus other brands-thus retaining its natural juices=better tasting AND retaining nutritional value. As good as fresh tuna steak ordered at a trusted restaurant-the 5oz can of Albacore Tuna, rich in mega 3s and low in mercury is in fact packed with a raw tuna steak without added water, oil or fillers-a huge difference fro what we were used to, shelf wise. So much better in fact, Wild Planet's version shouldn't even be uttered in the same breath. That good. . New for us, can-wise is the Skipjack Wild Tuna- a light colored, flavorful member of the tuna family-a medium sized, perciform fish-very popular in Japanese cuisine-including sushi and sashimi- with naturally less mercury contamination than other tunas. |

| Wild Planet Wild Pink Salmon (and Wild Sockeye Salmon)...in a convenient ez open, snap top can-has the fresh succulent taste/texture of fresh caught and delivered fillets-no need to drain the juices-as it's packed with no fillers or additives less a tad of sea salt. Terrific...sourced from the icy Alaskan waters, we couldn't;t resist devouring, straight out of the can-though delicious tantalizing recipes-are available online...(like party crowd pleaser, savory flavorful salmon cakes). Available in 6oz cans, non-GMO certified, and Kosher. |

| No wonder-we never really used to like skinless/boneless canned sardines-Wild Planet's sardines (from off the course of Morocco)-fresh firm textured skin, with fleshy flake fillets-tastes so superior-practically a different food category. Wild Planet has seven options of sardines-our top pick -the skinless/boneless fillets in water-a nutritional powerhouse options, low in calories. Also available in extra virgin olive oil-good for salads, a no salt in water, and seasoned selections...in marinara sauce, and extra virgin olive oil+lemon, |
