It would be very healthy if it weren't for all the mercury contained in most tuna. You might want to read:

There are warnings that tuna can be higher in mercury content than other seafood, with albacore being the worst. Insert different seafood into your lineup to be safe. Shrimp is good, for example.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tuna are a beautiful fish and dolphins are killed in order to catch tuna (killed by the tuna nets)
Tuna value their life as much as you value yours.
The oceans are being overfished at alarming rates, baby seals are being killed because seals are blamed for eating the fish, but really the problem is people eating the fish
people are over eating fish - people are forcing people to overfish
please eat less fish....
its ok to eat free range chicken eggs, since they are not fertilized nothing died, however eating fish is wrong for so many reasons, vegetarian or not
get your protein from eggs

Because of the mercury content, it's recommended to eat it only a few times a week.

Of course it is. Tuna is both delicious and nutritious.

Nope. You are probably getting way too much mercury in your diet. Google "mercury poisoning" and you'll see what I mean.
Balance in all things, babe.
