Going Wild For Wild Planet Foods Sustainable Seafood

Disclosure: I received samples in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

I have been trying to increase our family’s intake of DHA Omega‑3s, which are linked to reduced inflammation, improved blood flow as well as optimized heart and brain health. Therefore, I was excited to learn more about Wild Planet Foods, which specializes in canned seafood that cares about the planet. Read more about their commitment to sustainable fishing practices here.

Wild Planet Albacore Wild Tuna

When I opened my first can of Wild Planet Albacore Wild Tuna, I could immediately tell a difference between Wild Planet and other brands of canned tuna. The directions say not to drain it, because the tuna is only packed with the natural juices from the tuna itself (no extra water or oil is added).

My son made a quick tuna salad for a picnic lunch by simply adding some olive oil-based mayo and relish to the Wild Planet Albacore Wild Tuna.

I remember my mom making tuna salad sandwiches for dinner on the days we had piano lessons because there was no time to cook! Having some cans of Wild Planet tuna ready to go in your pantry can definitely be a timesaver.

Wild Planet Skipjack Wild Tuna

One of my kids’ favorite snacks is onigiri, which are Japanese rice balls with filling. We recently bought tuna and salmon onigiri from a grocery store in Little Tokyo, so I thought why not make them at home?

I mixed a can of Wild Planet Skipjack Wild Tuna with a tablespoon of mayo and a couple of squirts of sriracha.

Using my onigiri mold (this can also be done with your hands), I scooped in some rice, layered some of the tuna mixture and topped it with more rice. The mold helps you achieve the perfect traditional triangle shape.

Serve with some sheets of nori (seaweed) for a quick and easy snack! One can of Wild Planet Skipjack Wild Tuna and two cups of rice (before cooking) was enough to make eight onigiri.

Wild Planet Tuna Ready-To-Eat Meals

Wild Planet also sent me a few of their Wild Tuna Ready-To-Eat Meals. These meals are perfect for eating on the go because they do not require any refrigeration, heating, cooking or additional preparation. They would be perfect for my son and husband to pack for their next Boy Scout camping trip.

The Wild Planet Ready-To-Eat Meals come in three flavors:

  • Wild Tuna Pasta Salad
  • Wild Tuna White Bean Salad
  • Wild Tuna, Bean & Corn Salad

I brought the Wild Tuna Pasta Salad along on our picnic. The chunks of tuna were sizable and the flavors from the tomatoes, red peppers, olives and pasta melded well together. It was surprisingly filling!

  1. I’ve tried the albacore tuna before, and it was very good. I’d be curious to try the salmon (not the ones with skin and bones, though) and the mackerel.

  2. Albacore Wild Tuna With Lime & Basil Single-Serve Pouch is what I would try first, but I like all of their flavored pouches.

  3. I would love to try the shredded beef or the sardines. I know I had sardines with mustard sauce when I was a kid. I need to try sardines again though because I forget what they taste like. The tuna with lime and basil sounds great too. I didn’t know they have so many products!

  4. It all sounds delish, but I’d want to try the Albacore Wild Tuna with Sweet Chili Pepper first!

  5. I’d honestly love to try all the products… if I had to choose though I’m most interested in the Albacore Wild Tuna With Lime & Basil and also the Wild Sardines.

  6. I’d love to try the tuna with no salt added. I’m trying to cut back on salt intake these days.

  7. My husband had to go on a cardiac diet and for months we have been eating all kinds of fish….usually 4-5 meals a week. I have run out of new ways to fix the fish. Trying new products and finding your website will be a big help. My husband says he is excited to try the Sardines. He can’t find a brand that he loves, like the kind his mom used to buy him, lol

  8. Wild Tuna White bean Salad Ready to Eat is what I want to try. It would be great for a quick lunch or snack.
