| Can you recommend a safe brand of canned tuna that doesn't cost a fortune, and where I can buy it? I have a hankering for tuna casserole for some reason. TIA!! |

| I like Wild Planet. It a not cheap but it's excellent and you can find it at many stores. |

| What does safe brand mean? It has less mercury? |

Skipjack tuna is a smaller fish with a shorter lifespan and therefore accumulates less mercury. Wild Planet sells skipjack tuna and I suppose other brands do as well. |

| Trader joes sells inexpensive skipjack, $1.49 per can. |

| I bought a six pack of wild planet tuna at Costco - it was under $15, I think. I actually prefer the flavor of importer Italian tuna packed in olive oil, also available at costco and slightly cheaper per six pack. |
