Description

Raincoast Wild Albacore Tuna No Salt Added are caught 50 miles off the Washington, Oregon and British Columbia coastlines in the Pacific Northwest region. When the tuna pass through this area their flesh has its greatest oil content making for a better tasting, more nutritious fish. Raincoast Wild Albacore Tuna No Salt Added does not present a health concern in regard to mercury accumulation, because they are small, immature fish that are harvested at only a few years of age and have not had time to accumulate the quantities of mercury that are deemed unsafe by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) or The US Food and Drug Agency (FDA).

Raincoast’s “hook and line” fishing technique replaces traditional, dolphin-harming netting practices and helps reduce the number of non-targeted species being caught. The tuna are flash frozen, which seals in more of the tuna’s natural oils, allowing the flavor of the fish to be preserved and to ensure that the premium quality and freshness of the product is maintained. The only time the tuna is cooked is during the actual canning procedure and then only once. This facilitates the preservation of the tuna’s nutritional oils and natural flavor throughout the canning process, and consequently there is no need to add any water or oil to keep the fish moist in the can. Finally, to protect our customer’s health and safety, Raincoast Trading regularly tests their tuna to ensure it does not contain unhealthy mercury levels.
