  • You might assume that the canned and packaged tuna available at the grocery store is all of similar quality. It's all tuna, right? But there's actually a pretty big difference between the really good stuff and the bottom of the barrel. From flavor to texture to value to consistency, there are some pretty major variations.
    So when you're picking up some packaged tuna at the supermarket, choose the one that will give you the biggest bank for your buck. We sampled as many different brands as we could, the name-brand stuff and the store brands, to pinpoint the pinnacle. Yes, we tried 15 canned tuna brands, and this one was the best.

    I'm a chef and canned tuna with oil is better bc the water draws out the moisture and makes the tuna dry and then you find yourself using more mayo or dressing to make it moist. albacore-most any brand is good.

      @gballs007 Před 2 lety +3

      You can say the opposite for tuna in oil being extremely oily and greasy and making the oil fish flavored.... at least with Tuna in water, you can add to it to help with the dryness as opposed to the one in oil which is so absorbed into the fish, Can't do anything about it...

    • @gballs007
      @gballs007 Před 2 lety +3

      @Mikey Mike most oils can help with the dryness..all depends what you are doing with it, but can't go wrong with a flavorless oil (so not to compromise the taste of the fish) like avocado or Grapreseed oil....

      I can't stand cheap bargain ones like was presented in the video...They ARE more like crumbs shredded and overly salty and I cannot stand bits of fish skin or soft bone.I will pay a little extra to get a better product.I love my tuna in oil,I cannot stand ones packed in water,it seems to always be flavorless and tastes "washed out".I'm not a fan of Albacore,although it seems to have a bit of snob appeal..It is very dry ,to me,and reminds me more of canned cooked chicken.Theres just something I adore about StarKist or COTS oil packed chunk light tuna...in a cold macaroni salad or mixed into my fast dinner of Velveeta shells & cheese...And an added surprise....my cat looks forward to her little treat of tuna oil every now & then, drained off,and it keeps her coat beautiful and shiny!

    Genova is my fave. I had been only eating tuna packed in water for years but when the shelves got wiped out a couple years ago I tried one of the few options left, the Genova packed in extra virgin olive oil. Wow! Tuna that doesn't taste like the can! I especially like the larger 7oz cans because the solid chunks are larger. I routinely eat this right out of the can with no additions but it is also great on a sandwich or in a tuna salad.

    I like Genova, though I've had some Starkist Solid Yellowfin packed in olive oil that was good. I like opening the can to see a solid chunk of tuna, practically no oil. Cheap canned tuna is a sea of oil or water with tuna fragments, and when you drain all the liquid there's not much fish in the can. The better stuff costs only a little more..

    Good article - I enjoy eating tuna, especially in slightly heated sandwiches and in mixed salads. Learned a few things about different tuna brands. Next grocery stop, I'll definitely pick up a few new brands that I've never tried before. Though most canned tuna is the albacore variety, the expensive blue fin is the king of the tuna world - and the prices reflect that. Still, I've got to try some fresh blue fin be more picky, for a change! Here's to the ubiquitous tunny, folks!!!

      Yeah, but sometimes the house brand is the "bits and pieces" rather than the choice cuts, which is gleaned from picked-over, the way you debone the leftover turkey at Thanksgiving...Not necessarily lower nutrition, but with the risk of bones or skin being higher, or still "all beef" spaghetti, but cheaper cuts of beef, or with other foods, the less-ripe fruit redefined as """No sugar added", which sounds great but may be just water and Splenda to add the missing sweetness, instead of fruit juice and the ripe fruit itself...Sometimes the packaging is less expensive or convenient, but sometimes it can spoil faster. The additive ingredients may be cheaper options, but who reads the fine print, they think. Yes, sometimes it is the very same.

    I find it incredible that after reading and watching all these reviews, not one has the most popular tunas that are in every regular supermarket - Starkist, Bumble Bee, and Chicken of the sea. Those 3 brands have been around for over 60 years and have accounted for over 95% of the sales of canned tuna. The fact that these 3 don't appear on reviews, leads me to believe that these reviews are paid for by the manufacturers. The 3 listed above don't need to pay for reviews. That have been around linger than the people that are reviewing them.

      Starkist was the only one not on this video. After trying them myself I have to agree brands like Safe Catch and Wild Planet taste better, and I think that has a lot to do with the canning process. It's just tuna and salt. I get them at Costco, so it cost only a bit more than a can of Starkist. In my area Starkist is about $1-1.20 per can for 5oz/4oz drained. Safe Catch is about $2 per can at Costco for 5oz that you don't drain. The water in the can is from the tuna and mixes right back in. That's $0.25/oz vs $0.40/oz for tuna that I think taste a lot better and is tested for mercury.

    In any event your choice should be a solid white albacore in cans. I’ll buy whichever name brand if they are on sale for $.99 a can, which when they are off sale, are just under three bucks a can. My store seems to cycle among Starkist, BumbleBee, and occasionally Chicken of the Sea every few weeks.
