Amazing suprise awaits the opening of this package!!!Feb 12, 2009
By thehighlander
For those of us used to Tuna in the can this product seems very unique and certainly economical if you have several people in your family.
What you are getting is a single solid slab of tuna measuring approx. 6 inches wide 9 inches long and 1 inch thick. 2 whole pounds of Wild Planet's low mercury wild caught tuna. As you can see from the reviews of their canned Tuna this really is a very delicious Tuna and they cook it right in the aluminum type pouch that it comes in. When you open the pouch the juices from that cooking are evident. I know many of you probably have bought fresh Tuna in the fish market and find canned Tuna of no comparison. I, myself have only done that once and it turned out very dry and leathery when broiled. I don't know how to compare a Tuna loin like this to a fresh cooked piece of Tuna but if you don't have access to fresh tuna or just want a high quality Tuna for sandwiches or other dishes I truly don't know where you could find a higher quality and certainly more economical piece of fish. This truly is a novel idea whose time has come. Taking a large, fresh piece of fish and putting it in a sealed pouch and cooking it. It is the next best thing to fresh fish, especially when your favorite fish is not in season or available frozen.
I wish someone would package Sockeye Salmon like this. The only ingredients in this product are Tuna and sea salt. None of the extenders etc.. in commercial store bought Tuna. Now, Wild Planet's new can's of Tuna are 5 ounces, so you would have to buy 6 1/3 cans to equal this 2 lb. pouch. A cost of $27.00 verses $16.00. So you can see it certainly is a better bargin. The only caveat to ordering this product in such a large size is that once you open it you only have x amount of days to eat it. No problem for a family of 3 or 4 but if it is just one person it may prove to be a bit to much when all you want is one Tuna sandwich, but, I have found that by eating a little each day I can finish a package in 4 days just by having a piece once a day. It's a great way to get some extra protein and omega 3's and I really look forward to having it because it tastes so good. I hope this was helpful.

 Good product, but canned versions are more moistJun 27, 2010
By Adam Wood
Let me explain that title. Given how the products are sealed and cooked in the container in their own natural juices, there is as much juice per ounce (allowing for variation in each fish) in both the canned and pouched versions. However, at least in my experience, the cans keep the meat chunks immersed in the liquid - whereas the pouch allows the juice to pool at the bottom, leaving much of the meat not in contact with it. I had my pouch laying flat, so it should have kept the meat as moist as possible. However, the meat seemed quite dry when it came time to eat it.
I still give it four stars because (a) the product is of high quality, (b) I respect the fishing practices of this company, and (c) the meat can be moistened by breaking it up and mixing it around in the juices. Because I use about one-fourth of the package at a time, the need to figure out how much juice to pour out of the pouch for the meat along with having to break it up and mix it together causes me to remove a star.
A good product, for sure, but I certainly prefer the canned versions. I give the canned versions five stars without hesitation.

Best tuna ever!May 14, 2012
By GAYLE ROGERS
This is the best tuna I've ever tasted and so versatile! You can broil it as tuna steak, put it in a casserole, make tuna salad or just eat it right out of the pouch! It's amazing - no strong fishy taste like some tunas. It's moist, tender and so very flavorful. I love that I can eat it as often as I want because of its low mercury content. Imagine, something healthy, tasty, filling, full of omegas and can be eaten hot or cold, you can't beat it! Excellent tuna well worth the price. After all, can you put a price on your good health? Eating healthy is expensive, but my husband and I can get at least four meals out of one pouch, so when you think of it that way, it's not so pricey. Plus, this tuna can be taken anywhere, camping, hiking, whatever, and takes up very little space. Put the leftovers in a zip lock bag and chill and you have tuna for several days. It makes a wonderful protein pick-me-up for lunch at work. Wild Planet is the brand all the health experts recommend because of its low mercury, its clean water location and the fact that it is wild-caught. They tout it as the cleanest, purest, freshest tuna available. If the proof is in the taste, I wholeheartedly agree!
Great product, great valueJan 21, 2012
By Ramona Carbona
I was simply looking for a tuna product that does not contain "vegetable broth" when I discovered I could have that AND low mercury, low environmental impact tuna too.
This tuna tastes better than any of the canned stuff (with or without broth) that I was buying at the local supermarket. It does not taste as great as fresh caught, obviously, but it is great for putting on salads or making tuna sandwiches, dips, etc. We would buy the most expensive well-known brands and this tops them all. My first thought was that it tastes "fancy" like it came from a deli. My finicky husband loves it!
The fish remains "moist" but not wet like the canned kind. If you squeeze out the water of canned tuna anyway, this is already done for you, basically. And, the foil pouch is infinitely easier to deal with than opening several sharp-edged cans.
As for price... I do not live close to any discount stores and the only brand I was buying (which unfortunately started adding vegetable broth recently) would cost me $7.49 for a four pack. If you choose the subscription price, which includes shipping, this tuna becomes very competitive with the expensive supermarket versions. Tasting better and being better for you makes it an easy winner.
