It's important to have fish of some sort in your weekly diet. Fish is full of important oils that your body needs. At the same time, most fish has some low level of mercury in it, which is not good for your system. So you don't want to be eating fish every single day. Find a balance. Eat a few servings of fish, but don't make it your standard lunch or dinner every single day of the week.

Also, if you don't like the taste of some tuna fish because it's "fishy", try other brands and styles. There are a variety of fish that can be canned as tunafish and they all have different flavor profiles. It could easily be that another brand or style is just perfect for you.
