For fresh tuna fans, nothing beats a well-prepared tuna steak. With a perfectly seared salt-and-pepper crust and a pink, juicy inside, they don't call them steaks for nothing. But cooking tuna at home can feel intimidating for the uninitiated. Perhaps the most important tip you need when cooking with tuna is knowing how to determine if it's fresh. The best method - give it a sniff.
Sometimes, you just need a cheap, reliable can of tuna, and that's exactly what you'll get when you select Trader Joe's Chunk Skipjack Tuna in Water. But if you're looking for the tastiest canned tuna of them all, you're likely to be disappointed with this selection. Generally speaking, tuna packed in water just doesn't taste as good as it should, with its dry texture and strange fishiness.
