What is Dardanel tuna (no oil)?
Dardanel tuna (no oil) is cooked tuna packed without added oil, sold as a convenient canned seafood product by the Turkish brand Dardanel. The pieces are firm and easy to flake, with a clean, savoury tuna taste. Drain the can and add the fish to a sandwich, a leafy salad, pasta or a grain bowl; it also works well with lemon, herbs and chopped vegetables for a quick lunch.
