Common Tuna Varieties and Grades

Tuna products vary widely depending on species, cut, and preservation method. The most common varieties include Skipjack, Yellowfin, and Albacore tuna. Tuna chunks are often graded by size, texture, and color—typically labeled as light or chunk light tuna when sourced from smaller species like Skipjack, or premium white tuna from larger species like Albacore.
