I understand the mercury risks of tuna, but I still believe that it's
probably ok in moderation. It's a great source of lean protein... What I
want to know is, which type/brand of tuna tastes the best? Specifically,
I'm looking at Starkist lemon pepper tuna fillet in the pouch, and the
Starkist chunk tuna in pouch in flavors such as hikory and sweet & spicy.
And when it comes to the canned stuff, which tends to be the most
palatable?

I don't know about taste because I've always bought the same type of any
brand and they all taste the same to me. I just finished reading a book
called "What To Eat: And Aisle-by-Aisle Guide to Savvy Food Choices and Good
Eating" by Marion Nestle. In the section on fish/mercury/PCBs she says that
the safest tuna is canned chunk or light tuna that is not labeled "white";
in other words, the cheap stuff. Personally, I'm not sure if I'll ever eat
any fish again after reading the book. I was never much of a fish fan to
begin with.
