I’ve always thought “chunk light” was repackaged car food.
Do the white albacore instead. I eat that straight from the can...open, drain, toss the lid, a little salt, a little pepper, (maybe a little thousand island dressing)...don’t forget the saltines.
Great snack.
You'd have to go for the albacore white, and try several brands. Notice that all cans are getting smaller. I used to be able to feed two people from one can.
I also like the Italian and Spanish brands of tuna. Some of the kind are in glass jars rather than cans, which means the canner is proud of the texture.
Expect to pay more. I buy the mushy stuff, work in mayo and chopped olives and other stuff--celery, apples, pickles, nuts--and it makes a delicious sandwich spread. But when I make a green salad that I want nice chunks of tuna in--I pay more for the nicer tuna.
Get solid albacore. Or, the foil pouches are nice. Chalk this up to food price inflation. Same weight just more water.
Costco! Better than any other Albacore canned tuna. It’s like tuna steak in a can!
Schooner Tuna - the Tuna with a Heart.
Count me in on the Costco kirkland brand. Just a can full of a cross section of tuna. Never had a “mushy’ can
Bumble Bee Chunk White Albacore works for me especially with hot sauce.
We home-can albacore about once a year. Can’t eat store-bought any more.
Having some First World Problems there, huh?
Certain tunas are destined for canned. Most of the better stuff is like fresh or frozen. Whether it’s packed in oil or water may make a difference in how it stands up over time in the can.
YES. Bumblebee Tuna in the gold cans! Costco’s brand is OK but this is the best!
I have stopped buying tuna. Instead I buy canned mackerel and canned salmon..................
We are all supposed to be happy with liver pate cat food on matzo bread.
It’s the Dolphin in it that makes it chunky.
Solid white albacore. Period.
.
I mush it up anyway so it doesn’t matter to me...
The quality for tuna in the less expensive cans is really going down. I just use it for tuna salad sandwiches now.
Jeff , I feel your pain . I love chunk light tuna and I noticed several years ago the quality of all the name brand tuna was going downhill. Today it is terrible. Nothing but threads of tuna. Pure mush ! I have found that( usually ) buying store brand tuna is the way to go. My favorite ones are Best Yet , 3 Diamonds , Sure Fine and Safeway brands. All are way better than the “ big 3 “. BB , COTS and SK. Hope I could help. Good luck to you.
Tuna in foil packages is what you’re looking for...much fresher.
Tuna mush is an acquired taste.
That said BumbleBee Solid White Albacore packed in oil is the best of the canned stuff.(imho)
Just the couple of hundred home made canned jars of Yellowfin Tuna on my shelf!
