Side by side taste test. The only difference nutritionally is the sodium content, of which the pull tab has significantly more. Both had relatively similar cuts, a larger fillet and some scraps. I tasted the foil lid (left) first, then pallet cleansed with water before trying the pull tab (right). The pull tab seemed noticeably saltier due to the sodium level, but the meat seemed more tender, perhaps a bit fattier. The foil lid felt a bit firmer, but apart from the saltiness, they had very similar taste profiles. After the taste test, I served the remainder on roasted garlic triscuits with gherkin slices and caramelized onion jam.

Thanks for side-by-siding these.
I’m all for lower sodium on these.
The difference in meat could be the difference from any can to can. Some fish are more tender than others.
The sodium difference is interesting. Never noticed that before. Thanks for the comparison.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing your results, I love comparisons like this.
I prefer foil lid for the Mediterranean style of these as well
I wouldn’t get too hung up on the sodium difference or any of the nutritional info for that matter. They’re wild food and won’t be consistent.
There’s probably more sodium variation from Triscuit to Triscuit depending on where they were in the package and how much salt rubbed off.
Picture 3 the can on the right looks way more appetizing
Just had a can of pull tan for lunch today. Now I want another 😁
