I read with interest the recent post regarding the 138 kg tuna (saltwater section) and am hoping that someone can answer my query. The question I am posing is this. What type of Tuna is generally found in the tuna tempters, is it Albacore or some other variety? The reason I ask is I am currently researching the mercury/dioxin levels in seafood. I am currently on a non-red meat diet due to health reasons and am using seafood as my primary protein source and tinned tuna/herring/sardines are very convenient and bloody tasty (Chillie Tuna MMMM). Apparently levels vary from species to species and obviously location of capture. Hopefully I can put my mind to rest if I can get an idea of what species of tuna i'm consuming and therefore research it succesfully.
Thanx, Billy.
We've got the only cannery in the country here in Pt Lincoln and I can catagorically confirm that it's the skipjack tuna used for canning as I watched a whole shit... er, ship load of frozen skipjack being unloaded off the boat right along side me the other day while I was tossing out a chromie for some salmon.
I'd think the smaller fish would be what u are after.
Canned tuna would probably be a mix of small & large depending upon availability.
A bit of a lucky dip imo.
