 Crown Prince Abacore TunaDec 06, 2008
By Rockster
I have been ordering low mercury tuna from Amazon for some time. The last time I ran out, Amazon was not selling the brand I was buying (wild planet) so I looked for alternatives.
I could not really find an alternative on Amazon.com that actually identified itself as "low mercury." Low mercury tuna that I could find outside Amazon.com is very expensive plus you have to pay shipping. One brand that Amazon does sell - Crown Prince - says that their tuna is Dolphin-safe and line caught. Usually, the line-caught and troll-caught tuna from the Pacific Ocean is lower in Mercury than the typical tuna you find from brands like Starkist and Chicken-of-the-Sea. I also read a story recently that the high amount of selenium in tuna actually helps bind with mercury in tuna to negate its effects.
According to several articles I found, the interactions between dietary selenium and mercury are now the topic of exciting new research. Some of those studies were presented at a recent scientific meeting dedicated to the subject. The First International Symposium on Selenium and Mercury Interactions, was held February 22-24, 2007 in La Jolla, California. The symposium assembled scientists from the US, Japan, Spain, Ireland, Slowenia, Denmark and elsewhere to share information on selenium and mercury interactions and health effects.
Of particular interest was a paper given by Dr. Nicholas Ralston of the Energy and Environmental Research Center in North Dakota on the biochemical basis of selenium's protective effects on mercury toxicity. Selenium has an extremely high binding attraction and strength with mercury, forming a biologically inactive compound, mercury selenide.
But how much selenium is in tuna? All tuna species sampled, including bigeye, yellowfin, albacore and skipjack contained a healthy excess of selenium over the mercury content. For this reason, eating tuna, an excellent source of selenium, is more likely to protect against mercury toxicity, than cause it.
So, that was enough for me to give this tuna a try. From Amazon, it comes in a 12-pack case with free shipping. The price per can is very good. The tuna tastes great and the 12-oz can is a good size for me and my wife who like to mix it with low fat miracle whip, mustard, chopped onions, and green & red peppers and eat it with corn chips or make paninis. This is good quality tuna and worth stocking in your pantry.

Good quality tuna!Jul 01, 2007
By San
I'm very happy with the quality of this tuna!
The can is packed with large solid chunks of tuna. The flesh has a nice firm texture. And, the fact that it has no salt added and is packed in spring water means I can season it or prepare it any way I like.
I will re-order this item!

Very High quality TunaMay 13, 2008
By ED
"zebra01"
In the past this product was only sold through health food stores at around 7.00 a can. As soon as you open it - the mild delicate aroma, even color and an all around sense of freshness. Other companies make premium tuna's - they are better than the regular issue but this product is beyond the usual premium. This is among the best. Often our animals sense quality - my Cat will only eat this tuna. He turns down the 'Gold' cans from the other famous brands.

 We Received Poor Quality, Smelly Albacore -Dec 18, 2009
By L. Shirley
"Laurie's Boomer Views"
This review refers to Crown Prince Natural Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water;No Salt(pack of 12)
I had previously bought the Crown Prince canned salmon(also no salt added) and was very happy with it. Everything about it was good. Smelled good, looked good and tasted good. So I decided to give the Tuna a try as well. The tuna was exactly the opposite. Smelled awful, looked horrible(very dark and chunky), and wasn't good tasting at all. It wasn't that it smelled or tasted rotten or anything, just not like good quality Albacore tuna should.
We are always on the look out for a good deal on low or no-salt items.They always run so high in the store, even for a tiny can of low-sodium tuna, you pay twice as much as one that is full of salt.These large cans came to a really good deal, and as I see from the other reviews, they enjoyed these. Maybe we got a bad batch or something, but after trying out 2 cans we know we won't buy this - or eat this - anymore.
My husband is the one who really likes tuna. I could take or leave it(usually leaving it). He usually went through 2 cans a week of the regular tuna we bought at the store, but, even he was disgusted by this stuff.
So I'm not recommending this not so "princely" tuna, if there is one batch of poor quality packed, there is probably others.It's too much money to throw away by taking another chance. For right now, I'll stick with the 2 cans of Star-Kist or Chicken of the Sea we buy each week at the market.
Thanks.....Laurie

By D. Yeatman
I've been eating this tuna for 6 months now. As part of a weight loss regimen, it's marvelous. An excellent source of protein combined with low calories and no added salt, you can't get a better meat source on the market. I love that its portable. I can take it anywhere and open and eat it on the spot.
