The differences in taste also mean that both fish are used in different ways, when it comes to preparing recipes. The more intense flavour of Red Salmon for instance makes it ideal for dishes containing other highly flavoured ingredients, such as olives. In an alternative kitchen, Pink Salmon’s more delicate flavour makes it perfect for salads or fishcakes. After the cans of tuna have been sealed, another cooking session takes place where extremely high temperatures are reached. This is called retort cooking and happens inside giant, specially constructed pressure cookers. Heavy - Active for much of the day, walking non-stop and carrying objects. Typical jobs: hospital/ward nurse, waitressing in a busy restaurant, cleaner, porter, labourer/construction worker, gardener, farm worker. Leisure Activity Level Moderately active - Do light to moderate intensity exercise 3-4 times a week. E.g. going to the gym / swimming / cycling / horse riding / dance classes / playing golf. Daily dog walking (brisk pace, twice a day).

Kippers are a bit misleading, as they’re actually just smoked herring, but despite the name, they’ve been a staple of the British diet for years. And it turns out we were onto something – they’re naturally high in Omega 3, so they’re a great place to get those all-important good fats. Other reasons to include canned Salmon in your diet, is the fact that it’s relatively low in saturated fat and an excellent source of two vital vitamins. In just one 100g serving for instance, you’ll find the recommended daily intake of Vitamin B12, which contributes to normal red blood cell formation. Although every effort has been made to remove bones, some small bones may remain. Ensure product is thoroughly cooked and piping hot throughout, no pink meat remains and the juices run clear. Do not reheat. Not suitable for microwave cooking. Always wash hands, all surfaces and utensils after handling raw meat.In terms of protein, a 100g serving of John West Salmon contains as much as a pint of milk, and in terms of calories contains about 130 calories for the pink variety and 150 calories for the red. But which is our favourite, canned Red Salmon or canned Pink Salmon? Well as you’d expect we don’t have one. We like them both the same. Red Salmon and Pink Salmon are both cold water fish that live in the Pacific Ocean, but swim to fresh water sources to spawn. Ours are caught wild in the rivers, lakes and estuaries of Alaska, where the waters are among the cleanest in the world. So far so similar, but there are some differences coming up.

Store unopened can in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer contents to an airtight non-metallic container, refrigerate and consume within 2 days. All things considered, canned Salmon is definitely worth adding to your healthy diet, whether you’re keeping an eye on your figure or simply just watching what you eat. It’s also worth adding a can to your kit bag if you’re a regular gym visitor, so you can fuel up after a workout.

Another difference is in the weight, with Red Salmon on average coming in at 6 pounds, but Pink Salmon being a little lighter at around 4 pounds. You can taste a difference too, because Red Salmon tend to have a richer, fuller flavour and a firmer texture, whilst Pink Salmon have a milder flavour and a softer texture.

The next stage is for the tuna to be left to completely cool, before it is thoroughly boned, skinned and filleted by hand a by dedicated crew. Each portion of tuna is then canned in a liquid medium, such as brine, spring water or sunflower oil. The cans are then sealed. Light - Have a job that involves long periods of sitting (office-based / driving) or are home-based and sitting for much of the day. Typical jobs: office worker, sales rep, bus/taxi/lorry driver. When we worked with WWF between 2014-2018, we evaluated the sustainability of our wild caught seafood in Europe. The results were made public through Thai Union’s inaugural European ‘Sourcing Transparency Report’. At John West we’ve been offering you the best quality tuna since 1952 so we know more than most about the journey our tuna takes from boat to plate. One thing we can tell you, is that the journey has never been more efficient, more hygienic or more technologically advanced that it is today. Just one can of tuna contains at least 30 grams of protein. (They do make the additional recommendation that if you are trying for a baby or are pregnant, then you should eat no more than the equivalent of 4 cans of tuna a week.)

But just as all men aren’t created equal, all fish aren’t created oily, and so we’ve given you the lowdown of our favourite oily varieties below.
