The standard serving size is 2 oz - or 1/3 of a can of regular tuna.For most of us, a more realistic serving size is 4 oz - or 2/3 of a 6 oz. can.

How does tuna fish turn into canned tuna?
Tuna canning was invented at the turn of the 20th century. It was a means to preserve the fish product over a long period of time without the need for an icebox. Here is how tuna canning works:1. After the tuna is caught, head and tail are removed and the fish is gutted2. It is then precooked in a steam oven for 2-4 hours depending on its size.3. The fish is then cooled.4. The cooked fish is boned and fileted.5. Each 6 ounce portion is placed in a can with a liquid medium (usually water or vegetable oil).6. The can is vacuum sealed.7. Another cooking session then takes place (called retort cooking) – the sealed can is heated for a few more hours, to kill off any potential bacteria.8. The can is then decorated with a brand label and sent off to your friendly neighborhood supermarket.Bon apetit!
