I want to use this in a "mock tuna" recipe. Does this have an ocean or mild fish taste?

Yes, there is a mild ocean/fishy smell to it. I use it in the skin, so I haven't tasted it.
838220
Yes! I find it does have a fishy taste. And I mix it in with shakes that have lots of other things in it to cover the fish taste. It still overpowers the shake some times. I use less than a tsp. In the shake just to give you an idea.

The more you use the more of a ocean taste it has. You can use a minimal amount (tsp) in a bowl of soup and not really notice it. If you didn't know it was in there you wouldn't know.

it's only anchovy and sea salt. pure and simple, but good on tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers and eggplant, in my opinion.

not much of a flavor. I think they recommend putting this in water. I tried that but it does not taste that well. The best way I take this is put it in a little apple sauce or yougurt, take it all in one or two bites, then eat the rest of the applesauce or whatever. That's the way I like it best. Quick, easy, painless!

The bottle we got to try has a oily smell but not particularly a fish smell. Mixing it with flavored yogurt is how I use it.Keep it refrigerated, I suspect it could get rancid in heat.

This is intended for marine fish. You would be best served with something formulated specificly for fresh water fish.

I have never tried Wild Planets, but I do know one thing, the Skipjack is the best tuna I ever purchased in all my years. Texture, color, flavor, meaty and not mushy, so much nicer than the regular canned tuna I have purchased in stores. Plus I know where it comes from. I have stocked up.

It was not as course as I had thought it would be, being sea salt. It has the feel of Morton's table salt. I like to use it for cooking and save my more expensive course grind for finishing or topping my breads and bagels. The flavor is pretty neutral and normal salt flavor, not wet like sea salt either. It is great because it works well in salt shakers, but is easy to grab a "pinch" when cooking. It does tend to clump when humid, but so far has not got hard as a rock either.

I have no fishy taste when I use it, which is good since I hate fish. I freeze mine so I have no smell but some people say that can break down the gel capsule. I have had no problems with it breaking down and feel it's fresher than keeping in a warmer room. Hope that helps,

The fresh "fishy" taste in fish IS sea vegatables such as kelp and seaweed. If you use too much it stands out, but when used in the right proportion, just tastes salty. (I am also a vegetarian.)

It doesn't have a distinct flavor if any. The very mild flavor is more like a berry or cherry. Again it is really almost without flavor.

I would say mild. It is slightly lower in fat than traditional peanut butter. And I add salt to mine.

According to the label and literature when I last checked a few months ago, this oil comes from cold water ocean fish, not farmed......This is a reputable brand as well....and the price is reasonable.....drink it down with some warm water is one good way............

No it isn't. I do often eat it right out of the packagr, altho a little mayo is better. I just tear open the package and use a fork to eat it directly.This tuna comes packed in a tiny bit of vegetable broth. It is moist and tasty.

Hello, the Kirkland albacore is caught in the cold North Atlantic they say at least 100 miles off coast so they never have problems with mercury & belive it is flash frozen. It is fresher than I have bought at most docks, the fresh tuna at docks has always been fishy tasting since its stored on ice not knowing how old it really is. Not sure where it is canned at but have never had a bad can. The tuna I bought in CA is where its been fishy tasting never bought it in the atlantic. Not sure how it is caught.

It has no strong odor, and natural fresh squid ink flavour. I use this for my Paella Negra , just perfect! Likewise I cook it with frozen and clean squid, it taste so delicious.
