Take Two: Wild Salmon & Yellowfin Tuna

You can't go wrong choosing between seasonal fresh fish, like Yellowfin Tuna an Wild Salmon. Both contain the same number of calories, but Yellowfin Tuna (sometimes referred to as "ahi") is less fatty, offers 8 more grams of protein than wild salmon, and is prized for its mild but not fishy flavor. Although wild salmon contains more fat, it also has more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
