Paleo Memphis

I was inspired to make these Tuna and avocado wraps from Nom Nom Paleo so I was very excited when I found wild, pole-caught tuna from Sustainable Seas at Kroger. The cans were more expensive than your traditional tuna but well worth it my opinion. I think each can was about $2.50 compared to the ~$1.25-$1.50 for the other stuff. The BPA-free can was icing on the cake. 

Here’s a excerpt from the Sustainable Seas website:

How was your tuna caught?

In most cases, labeling does not include information on the catch method. If it is absent, assume the worst.

SUSTAINABLE SEAS SOURCES TUNA CAUGHT ONLY BY TROLLING OR POLE AND LINE

There is virtually no bycatch* associated with the trolling or pole and line techniques, which are regarded as the best fishing methods for tuna, a fact worth remembering when you buy. This Eco-consensus is supported by many Non-Government Organizations including:

• The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch
• SeaChoice
• Blue Ocean Institute

I’ll definitely make these wraps again and will always buy sustainable tuna going forward. I’ll also be on the look out at Whole Foods to see what they have available.
