Nature’s Promise Tuna – Wild-Caught Skipjack & Albacore
Our wild-caught tuna is sustainably sourced from pole-and-line fisheries in the Pacific and Atlantic, ensuring every can delivers firm, flaky fish with no added water or fillers. We offer both skipjack and albacore varieties, packed in their own juices or extra virgin olive oil to preserve the natural flavor and omega-3 fatty acids.
Each 5 oz can gives you 25+ grams of lean protein, making it an effortless pantry staple for quick lunches, grain bowls, or weeknight pasta. We stand behind responsible harvesting practices that protect bycatch and support healthy ocean ecosystems, so you can feel good about every bite.
What makes our tuna special
Sustainably Sourced from Pole-and-Line Fisheries
We partner exclusively with fisheries that use pole-and-line or troll methods, which selectively target mature tuna and virtually eliminate bycatch of dolphins, turtles, and juvenile fish. This traditional harvesting approach keeps ocean ecosystems balanced while delivering the cleanest, most flavorful fish to your pantry.
Every batch is traceable back to the vessel and catch date, so you know exactly where your tuna comes from. Our suppliers meet strict third-party sustainability standards and undergo annual audits to maintain dolphin-safe certification. The same careful sourcing practices you’ll find in our wild salmon lineup guide how we select every tuna fishery we work with.
Skipjack vs. Albacore: Choosing the Right Variety
Skipjack Tuna
Skipjack is our leaner, lighter option with a milder flavor and firm texture. It’s naturally lower in mercury than larger tuna species, making it a smart choice for families who eat canned fish several times a week. Skipjack works beautifully in salads, sandwiches, and Mediterranean-style dishes where you want the fish to blend with other bold ingredients.
Albacore Tuna
Albacore—often called “white tuna”—offers richer flavor and a slightly softer texture. It has a higher natural fat content, which translates to more omega-3s per serving. We recommend albacore for recipes where tuna takes center stage, like casseroles, pasta bakes, or simple tuna melts. Both varieties are packed at peak freshness within hours of catch to lock in flavor and nutrition.
Nutrition Profile and Serving Ideas
Each 5 oz can delivers 140–180 calories (depending on whether you choose water-packed or olive oil), 25–28 grams of complete protein, and nearly zero carbohydrates. You’ll also get a healthy dose of selenium, vitamin D, and B vitamins that support energy metabolism and immune function.
Nature’s Promise tuna shines in grain bowls with quinoa, cucumber, and avocado, or tossed with whole-wheat pasta, capers, and cherry tomatoes. For a quick lunch, flake it over mixed greens with lemon vinaigrette, or stuff it into bell peppers with hummus and herbs. The no-drain convenience means less mess and faster meal prep—just pop the pull-tab, fork out what you need, and refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container for up to two days.

Common Questions About Our Tuna
Yes, every can of Nature’s Promise tuna is certified dolphin-safe by independent third-party auditors. We only work with pole-and-line or troll fisheries that selectively target mature tuna and have zero bycatch of dolphins, sea turtles, or other marine life. You can trust that our sourcing practices protect ocean ecosystems while delivering high-quality fish.
Skipjack tuna is leaner, milder in flavor, and naturally lower in mercury, making it ideal for families who eat tuna multiple times per week. Albacore, often labeled as white tuna, has a richer taste and higher omega-3 content due to its greater fat percentage. Both varieties are wild-caught and packed at peak freshness, so the choice comes down to your flavor preference and how you plan to use the fish.
Once you open a can, transfer any unused tuna to an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 48 hours. Unopened cans stay fresh in a cool, dry pantry for up to three years from the pack date stamped on the bottom. The pull-tab design makes opening easy, but remember to recycle the empty steel can through your local program.
Absolutely. Our tuna is fully cooked during the canning process, so it’s ready to eat right out of the can. You can flake it over salads, mix it into grain bowls, or enjoy it on crackers with a squeeze of lemon. For hot dishes like casseroles or pasta, simply add the tuna during the last few minutes of cooking to warm it through without overcooking.
Skipjack tuna is one of the lowest-mercury fish options and is generally considered safe for pregnant women when consumed in moderation—typically two to three servings per week according to FDA and EPA guidelines. Albacore has slightly higher mercury levels, so pregnant women should limit albacore intake to one serving per week. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized dietary advice during pregnancy.
Our tuna comes from pole-and-line fisheries in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Every batch is traceable back to the vessel and catch date, ensuring full transparency and accountability. We partner only with suppliers who meet strict sustainability standards and undergo annual third-party audits to verify responsible harvesting practices.
Yes, tuna packed in extra virgin olive oil contains about 40 more calories per can compared to the water-packed version, primarily from the healthy fats in the oil. The olive oil also boosts omega-3 content and adds a richer flavor that works beautifully in Mediterranean-style recipes. If you’re watching calories closely, the water-packed skipjack is your leanest option at around 140 calories per 5 oz can.
