Tuna solid white albacore. "In vegetable oil". It was a trap.

[gypsyman]

I always look closely to find the section of the best can tuna (albacore in water). Grabbed 6 cans a week ago. I open a can and don't like the smell. Sure enough, someone else grabbed the oil and left it on the water section. Why oil? Anyone here prefer the oil pack to water? It just seems all wrong.

Water is definitely the way to go. And I only like a few brands, specifically the blue & white BumbleBee solid white albacore packed in water.

Olive oil, yes.

"vegetable oil", no.

This. Oil has better flavor and mouth feel.

Water yes, and always check the actual product (I only check the labels when I'm not finding the product where I expect).

That's what you get for not reading.

Enjoy the horrible tasting oil.

People who eat canned tuna have no taste buds.

Meh, I'll be honest - I don't go into Tuna unless I'm trying to cut my weight.

Leave it in a strainer for like two hours, should drain most of it out.

I did that once....I hate when that happens. Water all the way.


And ....tuna is fine. Sure fresh fish of any type is better...but I like dolphin on occasion.

Without turning this into a racist thread, there are certain ethnic groups that prefer oil. Older people too, most grew up with tuna in oil and stayed with it. Younger people it's almost entirely water.

You say that, but you've never had my canned tuna & raw egg Rocky protein shake :wub:

 

[BladeVenom]

My cat prefers it in water. It doesn't like the vegetable oil.

You had me until "protein shake"

sardines in oil. tuna in water.

I made that mistake once.
Oil was on sale for like half off, so I bought ~10 cans without noticing they were oil.

I tried to eat it... but it was horrible. I threw them all away.

Vegetable oil sucks

Canned fish in general is gross

King Oscar brand is the best. Kipper's ftw!

 

[MrSquished]

canned salmon is pretty good too. but you need the skin and bones, and those are harder to find. in water like tuna is the way to go. so what have we learned today?

tuna - water
salmon - water
sardines - oil

 

[Demo24]

I only buy the oil if I am going to add it to a tomato sauce for pasta, otherwise it's water.

After cutting top open with can opener
just squeeze it down to drain the water out - 5 sec
