If you're worried about mercury, and tuna does contain higher amounts than some fish, stick with salmon. It's one of the lowest in mercury contents.

Go with chunk light over albecore, the difference in mercury is huge.

ewwww canned salmon is sooooooooo gross hehe

I know what you mean. Last week, I opened up a can and then wondered why I had bought it. I had to pick out some bones and it didn't seem to have been properly skinned either. However, I have also had canned salmon that was a lot better prepared, i.e., it was all good salmon meat and none of the garbage, sort of how you expect a can of tuna to be, except salmon.

I hope I can remember which product I bought that was the good, not-gross kind. It did cost more, but now I know why it was worth the extra price.

Anyway, I get my omega-3's from fish oil pills, so I don't really need regular salmon or tuna for that. If I can find the good canned salmon again, maybe I'll stick with that. Otherwise, I guess I'll stick with canned tuna and fresh wild salmon when I feel like eating fish.
