Oddly enough, canned meat is an important part of Samoan culture. They like to carry it with them wherever they may roam in the world. Wahoo is not really albacore, although some people think it is. It's a firm, white, fish that tastes milder than tuna. The Hawaiians call it "ono."

The Samoan canned Wahoo of choice was/is the Van Camp's brand. There used to be a cannery in Samoa that supplied the natives with this important food but I think that closed down. They're still selling Van Camp's Wahoo but I have no idea where it's processed. My guess is that it's some secret factory in WoHan.
