Our tasty protein-rich tuna is a great way to eat healthily as it’s full of protein and omega-3 fatty acids

Here at Shines Seafood, we are, of course, very proud how all of our products taste, including our Irish protein-rich tuna, our mackerel and our sardines.

However, we are also very proud of their many health benefits! We started Shines because we wanted to see a really healthy tuna product on the market. And since then, we have expanded our range considerably – and not just to other fish and other products but also to other tuna types and variations.

Health benefits

But first the health benefits:

Tuna is high in protein with our Shines tuna an excellent source of lean protein. Some of our products have as much as 27.9g of protein per 100g serving. Protein in its natural form like this is really good in your diet and crucial for building and repairing muscle tissue, as well as for keeping you feeling full and satisfied.

Our tuna is also rich in those crucial Omega-3 Fatty Acids which we hear so much about hese days! These ‘good fats’ are linked to reduced inflammation, improved brain function, regulated cholesterol levels, a lowered risk of heart disease and certain vision problems.

Tuna also has lots of essential vitamins and minerals including:
Vitamin B12: good for forming new red blood cells
Vitamin D: important for bone health and a strong immune system
Selenium: A powerful antioxidant that helps protect brain cells from oxidative damage and can bind with mercury, allowing the body to absorb less of it.
B-complex vitamins, iron and potassium: These nutrients further support overall health, energy levels and bodily functions.
