Subway Classic Tuna Footlong Sub: An Honest Review

I used to love Subway foot longs. To be honest, I never tried the tuna sub until now. I was a big fan of the meatball sub. I loved the meatball taste and it tasted amazing with the southwest sauce and toasted cheese and bun.

The pros

To be fair, Subway is an ethical company that uses Skipjack tuna, a sustainable approved ingredient choice. This is great. The tuna sub is tasty, and is robust enough to match with the vegetable choices or green pepper, onions, pickles, etc. The tuna was fresh tasting and it was a decent sandwich. I liked the contrast between the tuna fish texture and taste with the bread and cheese.

The cons

Subway has a lot of choice combinations in the meat department. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy the tuna footlong, especially with toppings like jalapeno peppers.

Also, the tuna sub isn’t the best choice if you want to cut back on the calories. There are better options to cut the calories, like the veggie sub. The veggie sub has half the calories, at about 230 calories.

Although tuna can be a healthy option, the main concern is the mayonnaise that’s mixed with it. Although tasty, it boosts the subs calories and fat content into dangerous territory. Also the cheese doesn’t help things.

The conclusion

To me, a tuna sandwich is a simple lunch staple meal. It’s easy to open a can, toss in some dressing like mayo, hp sauce or bbq sauce and you are good to go. To me, I would choose another meat choice that is better, like meatball, or the cold cut combo.

I don’t regret my sub purchase, but I don’t think I would get another tuna sub anytime soon. Make mine a meatball any day! Cheers!
