This is a larger fish with lighter colored flesh characterized by its firmer texture and health benefits. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids but also contains moderate mercury levels. This is why it is important to limit the amount you are eating. According to EDF, kids aged 5 and under are to consume it only twice a month.

Another recommendation is to opt for the albacore caught off the Atlantic Ocean or the Pacific Ocean where the fishing methods adopted are manageable and don’t cause damage to other species. A small addition to your information, four ounces of drained, canned or water-packed tuna contain about 150 calories.
