Bluefin The Best Tuna for Omega-3

by admin on May 28, 2008

The best tuna for Omega-3? Here’s what you can expect in a six ounce serving.

  • Yellow-fin or Ahi Tuna 400 grams
  • Bluefin 2,200 grams
  • Skipjack 460 grams

You’ll notice than canned Light Tuna is missing from this list. It is simply not a significant source of Omega-3, with just 340 milligrams from a six-ounce serving.

Skipjack Tuna

There are three types of Bluefin Tuna; Northern, Southern and Pacific.
Bluefin is dangerously over fished. The catch has declined by more than 90% over the past forty years.
