Simply being in oil does not make tuna good. You can put cheap tuna in
cottonseed oil and I will agree with you. You need to get good tuna in olive
oil. Unfortunately it is pricey, even the "cheap" stuff, but is vastly
better than the water-soaked tuna. Cento, an Italian brand, makes a pretty
good and widely available tuna in olive oil and I think it's $2-something a
can. If you can find Ortiz El Velero brand "Bonito del Norte en Aceite de
Oliva" you are in for a real treat. From Spain, $10 for an 8.8 ounce can,
but astoundingly good. I eat it with just some pepper and lemon.
