Right so I like tuna as a meat - easy to prepare- well you don’t- and healthy. BUT - it may not be healthy as I can not find water packed tuna. All I can find is oil packed tuna. Now if this is canola/olive oil perhaps it would not be so bad. However I have no clue what kind of oil it is packed in.
So, does anyone know what store / food can company sells / makes fresh water packed tuna? And is there some healthy oil packed ones.
Mmmm maybe I should just eat the tomato juice packed mackerels
Ahh well feel free to share your favorite where to find animal protein info here… “At the Quack-Mart they sell low fat organic caviar…”
I regularly buy water-packed tuna at my local Wellcome supermarket. It used to be hard to find here, about 12 years ago, but I’ve been seeing it regularly at supermarkets for around 7 years now.
I usually buy mine at Costco, or at the Mami store in Shida. If you go down Shida Road (from Roosevelt rd) you go past Wellcome, then Watsons, then turn right at the first road. About 4 stores down on your right.
Hmmm I’m out in the small town, with none of those stores, but I think there is a RT Mart around I can do a tuna quest to. Cheers and Tuna Juice for all of you.

Meat is food comprising the muscle of an animal, especially (but not exclusively) land mammals. Fish are animals (not plants). So in the broader meaning of meat, fish are meat. Meat is also used to especially refer to the muscle of land mammals, as a food. In this narrower (and more common) usage, meat contrasts with fish. So you’re both right.

thanks
let’s hope you don’t blaspheme your “chili con carne” and transvestite it as “chili con pez”
Same here, albacore packed in water. Had a tuna sandwich on homemade bread for lunch today. Mmmmm.
. . . but I believe Lord Lucan is right. I always buy it packed in water for health reasons and the costco albacore is beautiful, but I imagine it would taste a lot better packed in oil. Maybe I’ll look for that next time.
Tuna is not exactly healthy. It is on the FDA fish consumption advisory list for pregnant women (or those who are of child-bearing age) and children. It is on most NGO’s fish consumption advisory lists for everyone else.
NRDC uses the EPA’s safe mercury guidelines to come up with this table for people who are not pregnant/women planning on having children or children.
The best I have found, is RT Mart.
About 65 nt$ for 3 cans/tins, same for oil based, but I suggest you squeeze out the oil before eating.
I eat a lot, at least 2 a day,so buy in bulk.
Many, many moons ago, I remember four friends and I at Roxy Plus sharing a toast to being able to finally buy ‘tuna in brine’ at Wellcome. I couldn’t believe we were actually saying ‘cheers’ to something so trivial as tuna in water, but it was a godsend. That ‘tuna in oil’ is horrible. Most of us don’t need more oil in our lives.
To ‘tuna in water’!!
I agree with other comments here that the Cost Co ‘tuna in water’ is very good. Albacore is nice.
