T is for Tuna, it makes a tasty Fish Casserole : Low Carb Recipe

Tuna can be bought fresh, but is also available tinned. Albacore is one of the best types sold this way. Skipjack (which, like bonito, is somewhere between tuna and mackerel, but classed as a tuna) is the most commonly tinned variety. Tinned tuna is available packed in water, brine, vegetable oil or olive oil (with the last being the best).

I nearly always have a can of tuna in the cupboard, so handy on the rare event the fridge and freezer are empty! Do try to choose high-quality, MSC-labelled tuna fish, preferably in olive oil instead of sunflower oil.
