Yes, we love our seafood, and canned tuna is no exception. But here’s the thing—not all canned tunas are created equal. It might seem strange since it’s all tuna, but taste and quality can vary a lot depending on the brand and type. Some have better flavor and more nutrients, while others just don’t measure up.

Alright, now that we’ve established that, what is being named the best canned tuna you can stock in your pantry?

According to expert interviews from Simply Recipes, food editors and experts are recommending Safe Catch Tuna'sWild Ahi, Yellowfin Tuna.’ Simply Recipes Senior Editor Megan Scott shared her thoughts on the recommendation:

Costco is my go-to store for stocking up on canned tuna, but I don't grab the store's famed Kirkland brand. I've always reached for those eye-catching navy blue and yellow-labeled Safe Catch cans.
