The Costco brand is very nice to be sure. However, I purchased the Chicken
of the Sea tuna from Costco. I thnik sometimes theautomated canning process
just portions out by weight and not solids and the consumer gets a can of
mush. I've only had that happen to me a couple of times with Chicken of the
Sea, but I say away from Bumble Bee because it has always been watery mush
when I have opened a can. Just the luck of the draw I guess.
