What is the best canned tuna to buy?
When you buy tuna, there are a couple of things to pay attention to: you’ll thus be sure you’re taking home a really outstanding tuna. First, check if your tuna consists of frozen or fresh-packed fish: the latter is more tasty. Preservation oil: the best tuna is the one packed in extra-virgin olive oil, whereas seed oil is less fine. Pay attention also to the percentage of oil in the can. Finally: a first-rate tuna needs neither additives, nor flavours.
