This olive oil-packed solid albacore tuna from Seattle-based St. Jude could not be further from the subpar cans of your youth. Firm yet delicately flaky, with a clean, mild flavor you expect from albacore and a touch of extra richness from buttery olive oil, this is among the best canned tuna we’ve ever tasted. (And we’ve tasted a lot.) Named for the Malley family’s 95-foot fishing vessel that only trolls the Pacific for albacore tuna, St. Jude is a family-run company with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest. They catch, filet and can every single fish themselves, which means their tuna is as sustainable (and traceable) as it is delicious. Best of all, St. Jude strikes the perfect balance between premium quality and affordability, so you can stock your pantry with the good stuff—without spending a fortune.
