And if not, what do you cook with a can of tuna?

Tuna is good

Often, canned foods get a bad rap and we prefer fresh products, but canned foods should not be thrown away. Those with fish (tuna, but also salmon, mackerel or even sardines) even have quite a few advantages.

What are the benefits of canned tuna?

It allows you to stock up on omega-3 and proteins

Participating in the proper functioning of the retina, the brain, the nervous system, releasing serotonin, and reducing the risk of depression, omega-3s are all good. And good news, it is found in tuna (as in other fatty fish by the way)

It keeps for a long time

When fresh fish must be cooked and consumed as quickly as possible after fishing, canned fish have a longer lifespan. Ideal when you can’t go to your fishmonger whenever you want.

The fish is already cooked

It’s simple, but already cooked fish saves time! No need to figure out how to cook it (steam? oven? foil?) or risk overcooking, you open the can and you can enjoy it as is or use it in a gourmet recipe.

No need to debone the fish

And yes, canned fish does not need to be deboned. This may be a small detail for you, but for some, it means a lot!

It’s a healthy product

Canned tuna is healthy if you choose a so-called “natural” product; obviously, canned tuna filled with oil should be avoided if you watch your diet. This rule also applies to all other canned fish.

Canned tuna is cheap

It’s a fact, a can of tuna doesn’t do much harm to the food budget and it can easily be cooked into salad, quiche, savory pie, toast, or simply rillettes.
