Is Salmon as good as Tuna?

[nshaw94]

I do eat both alternately..both are healthy..

[BlacksheepNZ]

I also prefer Salmon over Tuna a hell of lot more flavour and not as dry. But Tuna mixed with sauce like 'Hoi sin' or 'Sweet Chilli' doesn't taste bad.

I like both...as long as it gives me the protein I need..I will eat it!

1 slice of Wholemeal bread toasted(no butter) with a small can of tuna spread on it and salmon leaves on top...delicous snack..yum! =P~

Damn, I LOVE tuna on toast, honestly its like one of the nicest things out.

Salmon is awsome to. Honestly, I'll eat any of them.

however, salmon from a can is not as nice as tuna from a can imho.

but a piece of well cooked salmon is beautiful.

Mixing tuna into rice, salad even scrambled egg are good ways to get used to the taste.imho smoked/lemmon cracked peper/olive oil flavour tuna cans are the nicest, cant stand many of the others. esp brine or the tamato basil one thats raw dog that.

For salmon fillet try this recipie next time your not watching every cal

-char the outside in the george forman grill, so the middle is still raw, then on top of the salmon put plum/strawberry/any jam you want, and red onion. The outside will not get any more charred and the middle will be warmed through. Yum as.

Mercury build up in those fish is primarily because they are an apex predator i.e-they eat more fish so accumulate higher concerntrations of mercury, just like alot of toxins in food chains. Most fish will contain varying degrees of mercury.

Oh and the reason Tuna have more Mercury in them is because they are deepwater fish, same applies to Swordfish etc.

Off the top of my head its not relevant to its depth. Its because it (TUNA) is a predatory fish, where as salmon is not

The reason deepwater fish have any Mercury in them at all as opposed to Salmon which are not deepwater fish is because they are exposed to pollution out in the deep regions of the ocean where large Tankers etc cross. Mercury contamination is not an exclusive property of large predatory fish, they simply accumulate more Mercury because of their consumption of other contaminated fish. Salmon eat other fish so they can also be classified as a 'predatory fish' however because of their tendency to stay closer to land for reproductive purposes they are relatively unexposed to heavy metals.
