Buying advice

When buying canned fish, check for sustainability certifications (e.g., MSC, pole-and-line), fat content (oil-packed vs water-packed), and ingredients. For tuna, opt for skipjack or albacore from reputable brands to balance mercury concerns. Sardines and mackerel offer high omega-3s. Consider your intended use: salads, sandwiches, or snacks.
