Bumble Bee Tuna

What that tuna a solid cake of meat or more of a tuna slurry,
difficult to drain from the water?

Starkist came in a 6oz can and had about the same amount or less meat,
despite being a solid cake of tuna meat which was easily drained.

There are no winners on the customer side.

Can you buy good tuna for $1.00 x 16/3.375 ($4.75 a pound)?

We've all known about oil or water packed tuna.

I never figured the tuna:liquid ratio, as you have.

It's probably unpredictable, accurately, since the dawn of tin cans. ;)

Subject to change.

If you have ever canned your own Tuna, Trout or Salmon you would know that
even dry packing it you have more than a half a jar full of water/oil after
processing. The oilier the fish the more liquid after canning. While bumble
bee may add water to it's product I would be surprised if it is more than
just a little. 32% water and oil sounds about right after canning to me...

I only buy the oil pack pouch tuna. I don't know how it compares in cost
per useable ounce, but since I consider the horrid mushy water pack tuna
to be unusable, it inherently beats it.

Costco is what I usually use but I was out - Lately Costco is selling
Chicken of the sea or Star-Kist (Solid) 7 Oz cans 'bout 1.25 each while the
Costco Kirkland is running close to 2 bucks a can.

Buy canned salmon instead. 10% juice (which is great for sipping), the
rest is chunk meat. I don't mind the skin (you can get skinless) and I
love the spinal cords. They cost less than $2/can for 15 ounces.
Taste better than tuna and can be used anywhere tuna can be used.

Breakfast this morning was a canned salmon, American cheese, sriracha
mayo, and potato chip sandwich on wheat bread.

Tuna does no belong in those little cans anyway. There;'s no reason a
huge fish like tuna should be ground up to fit in those little cans.
That just gives manufacturers an excuse to smash the heck out of the
product and fluff it with water.

Tuna should come in 14-15 ounce cans just like salmon and mackerel.
Then you just stuff chunked tuna loins in there just like salmon.
(Tuna is one of those "all-loin fishes" - 4 huge loin fillets per fish
with very little peripheral meat)

Somebody could put Starkist and CotS out of business.

It's pricier, but you can't beat Wild Planet's skipjack tuna for
taste. About $3.75 per 5 ounce can, but it's all tuna, no filler, no
water, just 5 ounces of fish (and some sea salt).

Only if it also comes in the little 3-ounce cans that I prefer.

I don't know what I'd do with almost a pound of tuna, since
3 ounces makes a sizable sandwich, and I only need one.
