Looking for good brand of canned tuna

RetRN — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 20:31:52 GMT

I would appreciate any recommendations. I like making tuna salads but the tuna I've bought lately has not been very good. TIA.

hi,

If you belong to Costco, their albacore is really tasty. And I'm not a big fan of fish.

Hi @RetRN ... If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, try their canned SkipJack tuna. Fair price and according to many, the best type of tuna. Low mercury levels.

I love it.

It's available at other groceries also, however, I have found it to be less expensive at TJ's.

@RetRN We recently had a thread where someone recommended a great brand of tuna maybe from Amazon. I looked but couldn't find the thread.

Maybe it was @Sooner ?

The Kirkland brand of albacore tuna sold at Costco is Bumblebee albacore tuna. I buy it all the time, but especially during the summer when I make tuna salad more often.

Wild Planet wild caught. I prefer mine packed in oil. But I usually supplement the 1 can with 2 pouches of Starkist lemon pepper.

To add zip to my tuna salad, I always sprinkle with curry and apple pie spice. And I have to include chopped red bell pepper, besides onion, celery & fresh parsley.

@RetRN

I buy Kirkland Signature Solid White Tuna in Water and have for the last 9 years. Never fishy and you get a bundle of 8 cans for about $15. I keep them in my fridge in the basement. I mix two cans if I make a tuna sub with lettuce and tomato on long Brioche rolls or loaf bread. I switched to Kirkland because once I got sick on Bumble Bee or Chicken of the Sea (can't remember which). A friend who was using Kirkland gave me a can to try and I stuck with it.

If that's true, Bumblebee hasn't been that great lately.

Found the link below after I posted.

TONNINO is a brand I used that was packed in oil.

I like the brand Genova if I buy tuna. The secret for me for making a good tuna salad is

adding the juice of about a half of lemon along with other ingredients.

I like Starkist Albacore Tuna in the pouch. I get the kind in water in a variety of sizes.

I like Safe Catch Wild Albacore tuna. It says every single tuna mercury tested. It also says do not drain but I do. 100% sustainably pole and line caught wild caught tuna. I find at my grocery store. Either Publix in Florida or Giant while in Pa.

Such a disappointment when I open tuna and it looks like canned cat food. I might need to check out that brand mentioned on Amazon.

Wegmans white in water is excellent, very clean and white.

I buy Wegman's brand albacore tuna.

Any brand of Costco albacore tuna is one reason we keep our membership even though we are 125 miles from the closest store. We make a pilgrimmage every once in awhile (of course we pick up a couple rotisserie chickens) and order by mail the rest of the time. I've never had an inferior quality can yet. I gave up on the "catfood" tunas years ago. Good name, whoever posted that.
