Favorite canned tuna

I've been eating canned tuna my whole life. I've had good and bad cans from all the brands I've tried. They all taste good, but sometimes you just get a fine debris. It's good when you can see actual flakes or better yet, you get to flake it yourself.

I don't think it has anything to do with brands. i think it has everything to do with luck, i.e., it depends on where that particular packer is on the fish. At the beginning you get the good stuff. At the end the person is packing in all the leftover debris.

Kirklands canned Tuna from Costco is on another level compared to starkist.

I'm going to show my ignorance here. Is there any domesticated tuna or is it all wild?

I guess they do have that "Award winning taste" thing going for them.

There is plenty of fish-farmed tuna. If you visit Italy's Amalfi coast, you can see the big, floating offshore enclosures near Sorrento.

FWIW, the best mass market canned tuna is Bumblebee packed in olive oil. The water packed stuff is gross. On the high end, you can't do much better than Ortiz's yellowfin ventresca: LINK But how often do you eat a $17/can of tuna?

Canned, whole foods. Never thought there was a difference, but more tuna and less water.

Favorite and canned does not compute.

I've had the same experience. Nothing worse than paying top dollar for a can of chunky albacore only to find it has the texture of sawdust.

Whole filet, No water added. I never liked canned tuna until this.

Now, I want a "tuna fish" sandwich. And, why did we always call it "tuna fish" growing up and not just "tuna".

Same here. Seems now more people are calling it tuna salad sandwich.
