agree  Hilary Bruce: Flavoured tinned tuna is also a popular product. But if this is just plain tuna in brine or olive oil then fragrant sounds right.

neutral  Kika Kuenzle: I would use 'Flavoured' only in case some other flavour is added to the tuna: like 'Lemon flavoured tuna' or 'Basil flavoured tuna'.What do you think?
