Heavy - Active for much of the day, walking non-stop and carrying objects. Typical jobs: hospital/ward nurse, waitressing in a busy restaurant, cleaner, porter, labourer/construction worker, gardener, farm worker. Leisure Activity Level The differences in taste also mean that both fish are used in different ways, when it comes to preparing recipes. The more intense flavour of Red Salmon for instance makes it ideal for dishes containing other highly flavoured ingredients, such as olives. In an alternative kitchen, Pink Salmon’s more delicate flavour makes it perfect for salads or fishcakes. Kippers are a bit misleading, as they’re actually just smoked herring, but despite the name, they’ve been a staple of the British diet for years. And it turns out we were onto something – they’re naturally high in Omega 3, so they’re a great place to get those all-important good fats.

Moderate - On your feet for much of the day, either standing or occasional slow paced walking. Typical jobs: shop assistant, teacher, chef/cook, bar worker, engineer. And that’s about it really. Two fairly similar fish with lots of good things going for them. They both taste great, they’re both good for you, they both make excellent sandwiches and brilliant meals and they’re both very popular with you, our consumers. So as far as we’re concerned, if there were a talent contest for John West Red Salmon and John West Pink Salmon, they’d both come first. And because tuna benefits our bodies in all sorts of good ways, John West want to make sure you can enjoy it in lots of great ways too. Not simply tuna chunks, flakes, steaks and slices in cans, but also tuna infused with herbs, smothered in exotic dressings and ready-to-eat Light Lunches.

The next stage is for the tuna to be left to completely cool, before it is thoroughly boned, skinned and filleted by hand a by dedicated crew. Each portion of tuna is then canned in a liquid medium, such as brine, spring water or sunflower oil. The cans are then sealed. Other reasons to include canned Salmon in your diet, is the fact that it’s relatively low in saturated fat and an excellent source of two vital vitamins. In just one 100g serving for instance, you’ll find the recommended daily intake of Vitamin B12, which contributes to normal red blood cell formation. Inactive - Do very little exercise, going for the occasional walk (moderate pace, low intensity). Spend majority of leisure time doing activities such as watching TV, playing computer games, on the internet, reading, cooking, driving, general household chores.

But there are differences of course and not just in the colour, so if you’ve ever wondered what those differences are, we’re going to tell you. All things considered, canned Salmon is definitely worth adding to your healthy diet, whether you’re keeping an eye on your figure or simply just watching what you eat. It’s also worth adding a can to your kit bag if you’re a regular gym visitor, so you can fuel up after a workout. In recognition of our responsibly sourced fish, John West has been awarded the Marine Stewardship Council ‘UK Canned Brand of the Year’ for the last three years. Meanwhile, Thai Union is the highest rated food products company on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and the world’s leading seafood business on the Seafood Stewardship Index.

Salmon is one of the nation’s best-loved fish, and with good reason. It’s a real quality source of protein, and it provides us with Omega 3 and vitamin D in abundance. Oh, and it’s delicious. Salmon is a pretty straightforward fish to cook with, but if you’re short of ideas, we have a comprehensive list of salmon recipes here. At John West we’ve been offering you the best quality tuna since 1952 so we know more than most about the journey our tuna takes from boat to plate. One thing we can tell you, is that the journey has never been more efficient, more hygienic or more technologically advanced that it is today.

But which is our favourite, canned Red Salmon or canned Pink Salmon? Well as you’d expect we don’t have one. We like them both the same. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. After the cans of tuna have been sealed, another cooking session takes place where extremely high temperatures are reached. This is called retort cooking and happens inside giant, specially constructed pressure cookers. Red Salmon and Pink Salmon are both cold water fish that live in the Pacific Ocean, but swim to fresh water sources to spawn. Ours are caught wild in the rivers, lakes and estuaries of Alaska, where the waters are among the cleanest in the world. So far so similar, but there are some differences coming up.
