Ancient Hawaiians perfected the art of drying fish to preserve food that could travel across an ocean.
And the Hawaiian company, Kaimana Jerky, is known for their delicious tuna jerky, which is a great source of protein and made with 100% wild caught tuna.
But which to try first? That’s a tough question but fortunately, Kaimana Jerky offers a sampler pack which comes with five .05 oz. packages to help one decide which jerky they are interested in.
Included are:
- The Original Huy Fong Sriracha Ahi Tuna Jerky
- Teriyaki Tuna Jerky
- Peppered Tuna Jerky
- Lemon Peppered Tuna Jerky
- Original Tuna Jerky
And you get a Kaimana Jerky sticker.
First, let’s just say that if you are open to eating tuna jerky, you’ll love Kaimana Tuna Jerky. For one, it’s not tough and won’t your teeth afterward. The jerky is absolutely delicious and soft to chew.
But, you need to love the taste of fish. I know a few people say it tastes fishy and it’s important to note, that this is fish… tuna. Some bites may be full of teriyaki or sriracha flavor to hide the fishy taste but this is tuna jerky. So, if you do not want to taste tuna or fish, then this is not for you.
But I absolutely love the taste of the tuna jerky and as my friends in Hawaii would say, “This Kaimana tuna jerky broke da mouth!” (ie. this is absolutely delicious!).
From the sampler, my personal favorites are: Sriracha Ahi Tuna Jerky, Lemon Peppered Tuna Jerky and the original as my top three in the pack.
Now, at $13 you are getting five packs with about four small pieces of jerky. Again, this is a sampler and like all good things from Hawai’i, may it be coffee to aloha shirts, you are going to pay a bit more. Fortunately, for under $13, you can decide if you want to go for the biggest packs.
A normal 2 oz pack is about $9, while a 9 oz. goes for $25-$28 in Hawai’i and some of these are available on Amazon and even better deals from their website.
But this is only a sampler for those who are stuck between purchasing which flavor and want to sample five of their popular jerky. With that being said, wished there was a sample which included their other flavors such as the Hawaiian Warrior Ahi Tuna Jerky and their Garlic Pepper Ahi Tuna Jerky.
But overall, now I know what I like and now I know what larger size packages I want to get!
Kaimana Jerky Sampler Pack… Love jerky? Love tuna? Then this jerky is for you!
