Salmon is probably better for you overall (good quality protein, what fat it has is good for you, less likelihood of Mercury contamination). The only negatives are that it is a little more expensive and some people do not like its flavor as much as tuna. Don't know about mackerel, as 30cm mentioned. Might have to give that a try.
Always learning.

Only difference I see is that Salmon contains more fat. Therefore has more calories then Tuna. Alternating the two is a good idea not to get sick of a perticular taste. Both are great!!
Tuna is also cheaper then Salmon..
but both are GREAT FOR YOU!!!!! They rank on GOD level food for me
heres a list of GOD foods
1) Skinless, boneless lean chicken breast
2) Salmon
3) Tuna
4) Shrimp
5) Skim milk plus (100 calories but 2 extra g's of protien )
6) Lean turkey breast
I always have those things in my house, soon as one of those runs out its food shopping time!!!!1 (note i only eat shrimp now and then cuz its more expensive then everything else, but I always have a can around in case I am in the mood :-)

yup...
i eat both salmon and tuna...once in awhile i eat some halibut or cod as well.
canned tuna i eat pretty much everyday with pea soup. i like fresh salmon better...but as everybody points out it's more $$$. fresh tuna (like hawaiian ahi) is even more expensive...but also tastes great.
i also have salmon, tuna, and other seafood in sushi/sashimi at least once a week.
other protein staples i am always stocked up on are eggs whites and non-fat cottage cheese. just fast as hell to prepare a quick protein meal with these.
my personal philospophy is (even while bulking, like i am now) is to eat as lean as possible and top up fat calories with fish and/or flax.

How much on average does everyone pay for salmon/tuna. Not sure about the frozen salmon/tuna I buy, but I can find cans of white chunk tuna in water at Aldis for under 50cents.
For the mercury content...people who live on a mediterranean diet eat SO much fish. If I ate a can a ady of tuna, would I really be in that much danger?I love WATER
Currently Cutting.
Actual stats, I have no idea?
Help?
Amen?

Regarding Mercury content, different people are susceptible to different degrees. At a can a day you are a little past the "safe" maximum recommended by health officials, but you are likely to still be OK.Always learning.

I buy my fresh salmon for 7.99/lb at costco and go through 6 oz / day every day in a spinach salmon salad.
From what i've heard its 3 cans a week is safe for adult (from whatever health place i forget who)If I can lose 130 lbs anybody can
Consistency is key

A big thing that is not too known about wild caught salmon is the presence of astaxanthin which is a newer 'supplement' and gaining in popularity because of how powerful it is. If you eat 4 ounces of wild caught salmon you have taken around 4mg of astaxanthin and the recommended dose is 4-12mg a day so a can of pink salmon that goes for $2.78 in Wal-Mart near where I live I eat half one hour after workout and the other half 4 hours after. The 14.75 ounce can of salmon has about 80 grams of protein which is the main priority, but to include 6 mg or so of astaxanthin per sitting putting me at 12mg a day which is cool because t the cheapest prices the natural astaxanthin cost about 20 bucks a month in order to take 12mg a day. 2 in 1 baby! So if you have not studied astaxanthin, it is an exciting one.

Tuna is just super convenient... I love me some salmon, but takes effort to grill
