Full Circle Market Wild Skipjack Light Tuna No Salt Added
What it is
This is a can of wild-caught skipjack tuna packed in water. It is a light-colored tuna variety. The product is made without the addition of salt, which allows for greater control over the final flavor profile when used in cooking. The skipjack tuna is a smaller, faster-swimming species often used in canned products.
How people cook with it
This tuna is excellent for quick meals and pantry staples. It can be incorporated into a wide range of savory preparations.
- Tuna salad sandwiches
- Tuna casseroles
- Tuna melts
- Salad toppings
To use, simply drain the liquid from the can. The tuna can then be flaked with a fork and mixed with other ingredients. It is commonly combined with mayonnaise, celery, and onions for tuna salad. It can also be added to pasta sauces, mixed with breadcrumbs and egg for patties, or layered into sandwiches and then grilled or baked. For casseroles, it is often combined with cream soups and noodles before baking.
How it differs from similar foods
This tuna differs from chunk light tuna as it is specifically skipjack, a smaller, more abundant species. The 'no salt added' aspect means it has a milder flavor on its own and is ideal for recipes where salt is added separately, offering more control over seasoning.
How to keep the rest
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. After opening, transfer any unused tuna to a sealed container and refrigerate. It should be consumed within two days of opening.
