Enjoying a sandwich with Isabel Tuna -- Isabel Solid Light Tuna Review

I'm not a person that goes out of my way to eat fish.  Some fish comes across just too......... "fishy" to me.  However, I do enjoy tuna from time to time.   Since not being able to eat gluten,  before working with Isabel Tuna I haven't bought too much gluten free bread.  This was the perfect excuse for me, as I was in major need of a tuna sandwich!


What began in a small fishing village in Spain in 1887, is now available on supermarket shelf near you. A European tradition of quality, Isabel Tuna is unlike any tuna you’ve tasted before. Simply look on our label and you’ll see the difference right away. There’s one ingredient – tuna. It’s as natural as if you reeled it in out of the ocean yourself. There’s never any broth or fillers, ever. Just 100% tuna. That’s 100% delicious.


Initially I was a little worried about the tuna being in Extra Virgin Olive Oil.  I usually purchase my tuna in water.  The only different I noticed was the moisture factor.  Not one chunk of that tuna was dry.  The tuna/fishy flavor was not very strong though.  As a non-fish eater, this was perfect for me.  So, onto the sandwich making!
  • Schar Gluten Free Bread 
  • 1 can of Isabel Solid Light Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 whole dill pickle, chopped in chunks
  • 2 Hard boiled Eggs, chopped in chunks
  • Mayo and Mustard to taste
  • Paprika on top, to taste

This is just your typical Tuna Fish Sandwich, but it works perfect for me.  Isabel Tuna comes in many varieties if you don't like the olive oil. Be sure to check them out!

  16. That looks like a pretty good tuna sandwich to me. The olive oil does have some extra health benefits to it also.

  20. Looks great! I find tuna packed in olive oil is better quality. Certainly less dry.

  24. I love making tuna fish salad! I use albacore tuna, pickle juice, salt, pepper, chopped onion, chopped bellpepper, lettuce, and mayo. Then I spread it on grilled sourdough bread and cut it into four squares with toothpicks in each, just like my grandmother use to make it for me.

  25. I love tuna fish. Have you ever tried subbing avocado for mayo? Its delicious and a healthier alternative.
