    You can buy fresh tuna, not in a can.

    Also: Read the labels on frozen stuff - meat and vegetables that have been frozen often have been brine-soaked (brine is salt water).

    This. In fact if you have a Trader Joe's near you, you can buy no salt added tuna in a can and it comes out to 70 mg of sodium for the entire can.
