Move over turkey, ham and roast beef. Americas deli cases and restaurants will never be the same again if the latest Chicken of the Sea product innovation catches on as expected: deli-style yellowfin tuna slices created for sandwiches, salads, wraps and more.
Chicken of the Sea® Yellowfin Tuna Slices are the worlds first pre-sliced, pre-seasoned tuna slices made from whole yellowfin tuna loins. Developed to give tuna-loving deli users a healthier, convenient alternative to traditional luncheon meats, the revolutionary new product will be unveiled March 11-13 at the Chicken of the Sea booth (#519) at Seafood Expo North America in Boston, the worlds largest seafood show.
Envisioned as the latest on-trend, healthy-eating concept, Chicken of the Sea Yellowfin Tuna Slices are being tested and rolled-out to consumers nationwide. The line was created in response to the FDAs Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 which challenges Americans of all ages to increase their seafood consumption to a minimum of two servings per week.
Chicken of the Sea Yellowfin Tuna Slices is a finalist for 2018 Seafood Excellence Award, determined by a panel of seafood experts on the basis of uniqueness and appropriateness to the market, taste profile, packaging, market potential, convenience, nutritional value and originality. Winners will be announced March 11, 2018.
For years, nutritionists have been encouraging the public to work more seafood into their diet, but foodservice has offered few new alternatives to the beef, pork, chicken and turkey routine, said Scott Solar, Chicken of the Sea director of culinary development and responsible sourcing. Chicken of the Sea Yellowfin Tuna Slices is the first ready-to-eat tuna product that can compete in Americas delis and restaurants.
Were changing the classic deli experience forever by making sliced tuna a ready-to-eat option that adds the Omega-3 and health benefits to sandwiches, salads and anywhere else you use sliced turkey, ham and roast beef.
Two initial flavor varieties will be offered, Black Pepper and Cajun, without preservatives or artificial ingredients. Each vacuum-packed two-pound package contains 32 one-ounce yellowfin tuna slices, with five packages to a case. The slices are vacuum-packed to allow for easy freezing, thawing and serving.
Chicken of the Sea Yellowfin Tuna Slices is expected to receive Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification, the industrys most exclusive sustainability designation, similar to other Chicken of the Sea tuna and salmon products.

If i remember right the part of the tuna when sliced is part of the body cavity those are called tuna steaks once you reach the part behind the cavity is the loin
Thai Tuna Salad
Mix canned tuna, thin-sliced red onion, gingeroot, red-pepper flakes, lots of lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, s/p.
Toss in a few chp peanuts. SERVE w/ rice crackers.
Get a pouch of Starkist White Albacore packed in water. Cut open the pouch, slide the tuna onto a slice of toast. Spread mayo over it, put a slide of provolone on it and nuke for 30 seconds. There is your tuna melt.
Been doing this for 20 years.
Albacore Tuna, light mayo, olive oil, chopped onions and hot pickled peppers, relish(dill or sweet), salt/pepper in a bowl. Eat on crackers with pickles on the side.
Hmmm....
How about, Pig of the Skies® Maple Smoked Bacon Slices ?
Seems to me they will come out with that when.... pigs fly.
It's what makes them smell fishy.
4 ounces will give you 54% of your daily recommended sodium, too!
Yummy.....
Well, maybe on a hoagie roll, drenched in olive oil and vinegar, Italian seasonings, and some hot peppers.......
Thanks!!
I've made it to 71. Everybody else in my family is dead...3 before the age of 70. One at 72, and the last at 74. There's no longevity in my family, at least for them. They all smoked. I never did. I believe in quality of life, not quantity, although I do watch what I eat because I have my own set of health issues that none of them ever did. Bad family genes.
Longevity wasn’t my point
The size of the package seems ripe for tossing a bunch each week. 32oz is a lot to eat in one day, and that’s all I’d expect the fish to last once you open that package.
It was mine though.
