No, you do not have to drain it; the oil is edible and adds flavor. Drain some or all of it if you want a less oily salad or sandwich, or save it to season the dish.
Yes, it is ready to eat once the can is opened. Add it directly to a salad, sandwich or pasta, or warm it as part of a cooked dish; there is no need to cook it first.
Keep leftovers refrigerated in a covered container and use them within a few days. Transfer the tuna out of the opened can rather than storing it in the can, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, canned tuna is cooked during processing, so it does not need additional cooking before you eat it. You can stir it into a cold meal or add it near the end of cooking to warm it through.
Yes, the oil can be used in a dressing or mixed into pasta, beans or vegetables. It carries the tuna’s flavor, so taste the dish before adding extra oil or seasoning.
Use it in tuna pasta, a sandwich, a grain bowl or a green salad. For a quick meal, mix the tuna with cooked pasta and vegetables, then add a little of its oil or lemon juice.
Keep the unopened can in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight. Do not use it if the can is bulging, leaking, badly dented or rusty, or if it is past its use-by date.
Superfresh Tuna in Olive Oil has a richer, oilier taste, while water-packed tuna usually tastes plainer and lighter. The olive oil can also season a dish, so you may need less added oil.
Mercury levels depend on the tuna species, which can vary between products. Avoid relying on tuna as your only fish; rotating it with other seafood is a practical way to vary your choices.
You may be able to include tuna during pregnancy, but recommended limits depend on the tuna type and local guidance. Ask your doctor or dietitian how much is appropriate for you, and eat the product promptly after opening.

Superfresh Tuna in Olive Oil is a convenient canned product: tuna is packed in olive oil and is ready to use once opened. The fish has a mild, savoury flavour, while the oil adds a rounded, fruity note. Its flakes are soft and easy to break apart.
Across the English-speaking world, it is commonly added to sandwiches, salads and pasta, or served with vegetables for a quick meal. It offers plenty of protein and is also a source of omega-3 fats. Drain some or all of the oil if you want a lighter dish; for extra flavour, toss a little of it through a salad or warm pasta.
