Sadly, I generally had bought starkist, which is apparently the worst possible choice.

I'll keep an eye out for American Tuna or Ocean Naturals, I don't think I've ever seen either anywhere I shop, although I think I might have seen Wild Planet at one store.

Informed consumers are happier consumers.

If I ever get tuna, it is usually never canned.

I also don't trust fish that is already packaged in plastic, like those whole fishes put in meat packaging.
Last time I bought one of those, it stunk to high heaven.

Never again.
