Tip: Eating tuna once or twice a week poses no health risk for healthy adults. However, avoid eating it more frequently because tuna--both canned and fresh--contains high levels of mercury that can cause chronic fatigue and memory loss in adults. Mercury can also harm an unborn child's developing nervous system. If you are pregnant, considering pregnancy, or nursing, it's best to avoid tuna.

Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are my top picks for Tuna. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. The Four Brix Winery Paso Robles Sangiovese, Cab, Merlot "Scosso" Blend with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.
