MYTHS FROM THE SEA
Contrary to the claim of other people, albacore tuna has a low amount of mercury, says a recent finding by the FDA. Nevertheless, it is also true that not all albacores are the same. This means that some canned albacores are healthier while some may not be that healthy. The reason for such is on the handling of the fish upon catching, packaging and also the size of the tuna itself. Adding other fillers like soy, water and vegetable broth may degrade the full taste of the albacore. Regarding fish size, it is said that fishing smaller albacores are better tasting that the bigger fishes.
