About Skipjack
Skipjack tuna is a small, fast-swimming species commonly found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Known for its firm texture and robust flavor, skipjack is a popular choice in global cuisines, particularly in Japanese, Hawaiian, and Mediterranean dishes. It is often used in sushi, canned tuna products, and as an ingredient in salads and casseroles. Skipjack is rich in protein, low in fat, and packed with essential nutrients like vitamin D, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. However, like other tuna species, it may contain mercury, so consumption should be moderate, especially for vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women. Its relatively lower mercury levels compared to larger tuna species make it a safer option for most people. Sustainable fishing practices are key to preserving skipjack populations, as it forms a significant portion of the global tuna market.
