Bizarre new packaging concept

I don't know if anyone else has acces to, or has tried, King of the Sea
yellowfin tuna.
Stew Leonard's has it in CT and parts of NY. It comes in 7oz cans and is
far more flavorful than its Albacore cousin, and it really is solid tuna.
I've been swearing off cetain other brands over the last several years
because their 'solid' tuna is anything but. Open a can of COS solid white
tuna and a fourth or more of it is shredded bits floating in fluid, and BB
is heading that way. Geisha still seems okay, but 5oz cans again.

I don't have a can of the King of the Sea right now so I can't tell you who
packs it. If anyone's interested I'll pick some up on Sunday send and the
information. That may be the brand you're finding at Costco.

I would love to know, I hate when you open the can and it's all shredded
bits in the can... Thanks. I am going to Ocean State Job Lots tonight, I
will look and see if they have it there. I am in CT too...

Yes, it does screw things up when you can no longer make two
decent sandwiches, but there is too much for one sandwich! BTW, I
get Costco's Kirkland brand. It is quite good. Prior to
discovering this, I found Ortiz's Bonito del Norte (IIRC), which
was oil packed. That is also quite good, but it is extremely
expensive. And by the time I found that, I was quite unused to
oil-packed tuna. Maybe for something other than sandwiches--and
when I am wealthy.

I got really turned off by that mush that was being sold as solid
tuna. Eventually, I read the label and saw that many cans of tuna
now contain soy protein, which presumably is some of the mush.

This has been going on for as long as I can remember.

The other day, my daughter opened a bag of cheese popcorn that I bought for
her. I realize that they do have to leave some air space in the bag to
prevent breakage, but the bag was only about 1/4 full!

We used to be able to get solid white tuna (actually solid, too),
that was caught in Alaska and packaged and sold by local fishermen (they
went to AK to fish, flash froze and canned) which had an ingredient list
of: Tuna, Salt. The liquid in the can was all from the tuna. We
haven't been able to get it here, but I just saw a brand at our natural
foods store that was similar and still from an in state company, though
it was about 25% more per can than we used to pay. I'm going to try it,
though. We don't eat enough canned tuna for it to break the bank, and
they might give us a case discount if we like it and buy a case.

You KNOW you are in trouble with cans now abeled as "chunk" white
tuna when the supposedly solid tuna already is lower quality than
the old chunk tuna was.
