Canned tuna in oil but without salt
 

Is there such a thing? My wife likes tina in oil, but finds the
canned tuna usually too salty for her taste (she is very sensitive
to salt).

I can get it at the health food store but it often has other flavors in it.

You want kinky... I'll give Blinky Kinky! hehe

Ceviche Mako

2 lbs mako shark, cubed
8-10 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped
8-12 limes, freshly squeezed and strained to remove pulp,enough to
cover fish
1 red onion, thinly sliced and rinsed

Combine all ingredients except red onion and mix well.
Place red onion on top and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at
least 2-3 hours before serving.
Before serving, mix well and serve with lettuce, corn, avocado or
other cold salad vegetables on the side.
It is important to use a juicer that squeezes the juice out of the
limes, not one that will tear the membrane of the lime sections since
this will make the lime juice bitter.

Read the ingredients list. If it says it includes salt you know it's not
what you want. You will probably be pressed (no pun intended about the
olive oil) to find tuna in oil without salt. Salt is used as a preservative
with a lot of fish.

I haven't bought tuna in oil in years. It's typically packed in olive oil
now?

Yes, that or simple water. If you can find the spanish "Consorcio" tuna in
olive oil, give it a try: it's very good. Another one, a tad more expensive
and a tad better, is "San Cusumano" from Sicily: best texture ever for boxed
tuna. Sadly San Cusumano is not as widespread as Consorcio.

However, are these low in salt (which was, and remains, the topic)?

Based on my taste and memory, San Cusumano seems one of the less salty I
ever had.

Unfortunately, the valori nutrizionali do not list the salt
content.

http://www.ninocastiglione.it/sapete2.asp

The fact that it is not listed is not a guarantee that it is not
present. If I could find a can in Canada, I could see the salt
content as it must be listed by law.

Obviously. That's why I had to base my opinion on taste.

That's a clever labeling-rule, I'd like something like that here.

More bullshit...

Nothing new... Bumble Bee has had tuna in olive oil forever, I buy it
all the time. Bumble Bee also has a low sodium tuna (I've never tried
it).

http://www.bumblebee.com/products_fam.jsp?famid=1

Star Kist has a low salt version and in flavored olive oil:
http://www.buythecase.net/brand/Star...ID=36413881521

Progresso tuna in olive oil is another I've been buying forever:

And Amazon carries many mo
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw...+oil&x=11&y=22

The greatest variety of tuna in olive oil (and sardines, etc.) at the
lowest prices can be found in Hispanic markets under various Hispanic
sounding brand names, but if you read the labels you'll notice many
are canned in places like New Jersey.

The canned fish purveyers have been capitalizing on the trend people
have adopted to consume their products packed in water. The dumb
consumers pay more and get less... any who drain the water and then
add mayo would have been far better off buying tuna in oil to begin
with. Tuna/sardines in olive oil is an especially good bargain
considering it automatically adds a wonderful dressing for salads....
you save no calories by draining oil packed and then adding mayo,
which is precisely what most people do, and they typically add a lot
more mayo to drained water packed than they would with drained oil
packed, so they've accomplished zip, except that they drained away
much of the flavor.

Only had tuna in there.... But I'll have to check out the shelves in the
supermarket when I shop again and see if there are any sardines etc.

I checked out all the suggested links (thanks everyone for the time
you took to provide this information) as well as names of companies
when no links were present. I conclude:

1. No low-sodium tuna (or even Tina, for you giggling minnies) is
available packed in oil of any sort.

2. No ingredients list available online mentions sodium content (even
on the low-sodium items) which leads me to believe that it must be
high.

I am therefore considering ways of making my own from fresh tuna and
olive oil (and not Olive Oyl).

I have never cooked tuna before, so any suggestions are welcome.

Are you warped... every can of tuna lists sodium content on the
label... the ingredients lists I provided all indicate sodium
content... you must be too friggin brainless to know that sodium means
salt.

Ahem. Tuna comes from the sea, which has salt in it (IIRC) - so just how
"low in salt" would you like it?

Actually that the beast lives in the sea has no effect on the
percentage of salt in its flesh... the animals glands maintain a
particular sodium level. But all food contains salt... what's
printed on labels is "No Salt Added", but all food contains salt
naturally... there is no such thing as a salt free diet, without salt
you die.

The flesh of various finned seafood contains about the same proportion
of sodium as the various cuts of beef.

Chicken of the Sea, Bumblebee, and most other popular brands and store
brands are packed in soybean oil. Not the most aesthetically pleasing
oil, but there's only so much you should expect from canned fish
anyway.

I like jack mackerel, a change from tuna salad, makes great fish cakes/
croquettes too. Crystal Palace vodka is nice iced with black cherry
soda and a squeeze of lime.

I love kipper snacks.

Everyone is so concerned about their weight, I wonder if they will stop
making tuna packed in oil. I hope not, because I like it. Water packed
tuna does not taste the same, to me.

Well, you're probably right - but I was just a bit "miffed" at the OP's
attitude... People were trying to be helpful.
This is a Usenet group, and expecting the rest of us to stay strictly
"on topic" is asking a little too much.... He's lucky we didn't start

Please don't bring kippers up or I'll be going to the grocery store
again. They disappear around here like brownies do in a normal house.

We've still got friggin Christmas cookies left but NO kippers!!!

However, since my attitude no longer needs defending, let me
reiterate
that I was asking a specific question, not a general interest one, and
that
it was for a very specific reason which I stated originally. If the
answers
are not suitable to the question, am I just supposed to accept that
I'm
dealing with people who have the attention span of a gnat? I expect
more
from the people here than that (Sheldon excepted). If I have to play
the role
of chair of meeting, then so be it. I was not rude, only short, which
was
function of the time available to me then. And I did thank everyone
for their
help. Perhaps you missed that.

Ring ring!
Hello, who's there?
Cell
Cell who?
