Why does store brand tuna taste better than Starkist tuna?

[MetalMat]

I eat alot of tuna, but have noticed that Starkist tuna is not that great. The store brand tuna (like Albertsons and Hy-Top) not only has a better texture, but it also tastes better and is usually the same price or even cheaper.

It costs more though. While it tastes better, I find that plain old tuna is good enough for the price.

It is not just you, Storebrand > Starkist.

Costco's Kirkland Brand albacore is the best I've ever had.

If you can, give it a try.

You may want to limit your tuna consumption... You know, with the mercury and all.

I've been eating about a can a day for years, and I'm fine.

Starkist tastes salty as hell to me. Maybe it's just the cans that I bought. I stick with Bumblebee :thumbsup:

Feeling fine doesn't mean you are fine. At some point the effects may kick in.

Everything is bad for you. Soon they will tell you to stop drinking water.

Figures you would say that. You've already ingested kilograms of mercury!

Well the chart is for pregant mothers.

I agree with all this. I have found that the generic Safeway brand tuna is significantly better than other brands, so I've switched to it exclusively.

 

[konakona]

on a related note, i much prefer kroger's apple sauce to mott's.

Yup, the dolphin adds flavor.

The FDA recommends limited mercury consumption for non pregnant folks too.
