If every trip to the grocery store serves up a heaping helping of sticker shock, head straight for the canned fish aisle on your next trip. A can of tuna is one of the most affordable, convenient pantry staples you can keep on hand—it’s packed with protein, lasts for ages, and can turn into everything from quick lunches to surprisingly impressive dinners in minutes.

Toss it into pasta, turn it into crispy fish cakes, stuff it into bell peppers, layer it onto toast or bagels, or bake it into cozy casseroles the whole family will love. When dinner needs to be cheap, fast, and filling, canned tuna delivers.
