TUNA is widely commercialized in shops and grocery stores as a common supply. Many varieties and types of tuna make our salads and daily dishes rich in protein.

Its color ranges from pink to dark red coming from myoglobin, which breaks down very fast when it's heated.

SALMON is not so common for every day. It's more expensive, and their meat is more strongly flavored and oily compared with tuna.

Its color goes from orange to red. Heat doesn't affect its color, so it's still have a strong color even after cooked. Francisco Baeza Errazuriz says that both are rich and healthy, you can consume them weekly.
