Agreed on the Kirkland (COSTCO) brand. FWIW Consumer Reports said the
Kirkland brand is much better than the other commercial brands. Of
course someone is making the Kirkland brand for them. Wonder who?

But if you can ever find Van Camp's Wahoo - I think it is packed in
Samoa- that is the best. Pricey, here, at almost $2/can.
