Advantages: TOTALLY GORGEOUS STUFF !!!
Disadvantages: FAIRLY EXPENSIVE TO BUY.

...Hi there - its so good to be back with you all again. I've been away for a wee while getting my health back up yet again - those of you who know me will know all about my aches and pains and ailments!! Now for my first 'real' product review since returning…………….hope were all singing from the right tuna book!! MARKS AND SPENCER YELLOWFIN TUNA FILLETS 190g JAR - £2.99 I have been over the moon since finding this product at my local Marks and Spencer store here in Hartlepool. I was wandering round there last week- as I usually do - when I came across this product and what a find ! A jar of fresh tuna fillets, not chunks or steaks but fillets. Snap frozen at sea just as soon as they're caught - in the Indian Ocean might I add. From here they are transported to North West Spain and it is here that they're hand cut... Read review

Advantages: tastes nice, an essential source of omega three
Disadvantages: fishy smell, the price

...As some of you may know, I have embarked upon a healthy eating plan and started to go to the gym three times a week to lose some excess pounds. It can be a difficult struggle cutting the calories and the junk food so I had to invent some filling, nutritious, tasty but not calorific meals. ------------------------So what is it? --------------------------------------------- The product I will be reviewing will be John West's Tuna Chunks in spring water, although there are many other varieties available within the supermarkets such as tuna in sunflower oil and tuna in brine. John West Tuna Chunks in spring water come in a tin can and they contain 185g. The tin has dark green labelling with a sort of wave pattern of blue on it, with the title of the tuna and the nutritional information... Read review

Advantages: Great taste
Disadvantages: Little on the pricey side

...Weight : 130g (this is after being drained, before draining it weights 185g) Ingredients: TUna, Salt, Springwater Energy per 100g : 189kcal Protein : 27g Carbohydtrate : Trace Fat : 9g Fibre : trace Sodium : 0.3g Dolphin Friendly - Overview - John West Tuna Chunks come in Springwater, in Brine or in Sunflower oil. For this review I will be reviewing John West Tuna Chunks in Springwater, as this is the one I buy. John West Tuna Chunks are certainly one of the best around. If I am going to buy tuna, which is something I do alot, I will buy John West, purely cause I know that I can trust it to taste nice and be fresh. Everyone in my house loves it over other Tuna, because it stays fresh. Even my cat will eat tonnes of it. - Taste - John West Tuna Chunks have a very soft taste, with a soft texture to it. It doesn... Read review

Advantages: plenty
Disadvantages: none

...Well where do I start, I must admit, I have fads on Tuna and the prices are always up and down and sometimes I have bought tins and wish to god I had not bothered as there was no taste to them. So here in my bargain quest is my opinion on Tesco Value Tuna. Price 33p a tin of 129g. All the tins of tuna normally come in at around this size. Packaging. --------------- Round can 185g with the tuna chunks in brine and the drained weight tells you on the reverse of the packet that it is 129g drained. It is the normal size of all tuna cans and has the distinctive 7 blue lines on it with Tesco value on the front. The label of the can is the usual white Tesco value label and it has Tuna Chunks written in large blue letters on the front and underneath in smaller writing is in brine. As you turn the tin around it also says... Read review

Advantages: Helps that waistline get a little bit slimmer!
Disadvantages: If you don't like fish then you won't like this!

...I have never really been a great lover of tuna as I always found it to be a dull type of fish dish. Quite dry in fact unless smothered in some kind of oil. Good for you, I know, but not very appetising. A while back whilst browsing in the supermarket, I caught sight of a pack of three tins of tuna called "Weightwatchers from Heinz" so I decided to take a closer look. I picked up the tomato & herb variety and took a closer look at the contents section. I always look immediately at the nutrional information and check out the kcals and saturated fat contents. One can is 80 kcal with 0.2g of saturated fat content. The can is approximately 2.5" in diamater x 1.5" height. Not a large tin by any means but certainly enought for one person. If you are anything like me, I open a normal size tin of tuna, take a bit out, then end up... Read review

Advantages: Dolphin Friendly
Disadvantages: The brine but you get that will all tinned tuna

...I am always on the hunt for the bargains and to help me save some pennies when doing my food shopping. I was in Tesco's and I normally buy the odd item from their value range, I had never seen that they did Tuna and for 33p for the normal sized tin I thought I'd give it a go as this is a lot cheaper than what I normally buy (John West) I checked before I brought the Tuna that it is Dolphin Friendly, which indeed it is. It is underwritten with the Tesco commitment, if you do not like it, take it back. The tuna comes in brine water which you have to drain and I like to wash it in cold water to make sure that all the brine has gone. As soon as you open the tin like all the other tuna makes you can smell the fishy smell emerging from the tin. The appearance of the tuna is very similar to the John West Tuna, Slightly pink...

Advantages: delicious, healthy, appetising
Disadvantages: slightly messy, pricey

...After having such a successful experience with the Weight Watchers Tuna and Mayonnaise filler, I decided to give the other flavours a try, one of which being the Tuna with Tomato and Herb Dressing. I thought that the tomato was going to create a peculiar combination with the tuna, but nevertheless I tried it anyway, and was not at all disappointed! This was not a cheap purchase, at £1.80 for just three cans at Asda, so I could only hope they were worth of such a pricey label. After positioning my bread ready for it to meet the filling, I peeled back the ring pull on the little can. The can itself held 80g of filling, and looked quite dainty and cute. When I removed the sharp lid, the filling was revealed in all its prime. It was incredibly rich in a shade of red, only a few specks of green herb visible. The tuna was peeking out... Read review

Advantages: really quite good for you.
Disadvantages: I've eaten too much.

...Prime chunks of tuna covered in thick milk chocolate.... When I first became pregnant, I went off all red meat, and rapidly found that fish was about all I could manage. Being worried about getting a decent balance in my diet, I got through a good deal of fish. Fish is best fresh - no two ways about this, however, fishmongers have all but vanished so you are dependent on whatever your supermarket can manage. Fresh fish does not keep well, even in a fridge, and freezing would defeat the object, so tinned and pre-frozen soon become unavoidable. I've always liked tuna, I'll admit that there was a long period when I could no longer face it - but an overdose can do that to you. Tunas are quite large fish, so you just get bits in the tin - cooked, and usually missing skin, bones, fins, heads etc. You do occasionally get the odd bone... Read review

Advantages: Makes a nice change
Disadvantages: Supposed to be for weight watchers only

...These come as a 3 pack surrounded by a cardbord box and are available in Tuna,Tomato & Herb, Coronation Tuna, Tuna, mayo & sweetcorn, Salmon in Lemon Mayo, as well as the Tuna & Mango Chutney variery which is the one i'm going to review. You can buy them from all major supermarkets priced around £1.78 I normally take cheese or ham sandwiches to work for lunch, but last night as i was doing the packing up i fancied something different. I looked in the cupboard and there it was a little purple and green tin with the Weight Watchers from Heinz logo on it and the words Tuna in Mango Chutney. I decided i wanted a sandwich but on past experience i take the dry bread and the tin to make the sandwich as i'm about to eat it as i find the bread gets quite wet if left overnight. So lunch time finally arrives and i am st
