fish and the yellowfin tuna fish. Meanwhile the white canned
tuna fish in vegetable oil type can be made using only one kind of tuna
fish which is the albacore tuna fish.

us to the consistency of chicken breast. Actually more people prefers the taste
from the white canned tuna fish type compared to the light canned tuna fish
