Squeezing out the water removes much of the fish flavor, not that there is much in water pack as almost all the natural fish oil is removed in processing... don't yoose find it somewhat odd that there is no fat floating on top of water pack tuna? The tuna industry sells that fish oil to pharmaceutical companies, cosmetic companies, and many other industries. People today truly have their taste in their ass, they somehow developed such horrid food squeemishnness about anything that doesn;t look like a fast food Greasy Meal. When I was a kid we fought over whose turn it was to have fish skins to suck the fat from... the old appetizing stores that hand sliced lox used to sell the lox skin for cheap, but you had to be a steady customer and reserve it too... a fatty smoked whitefish skin was to die for. |

Now, I buy StarKist in the pouch. Packed in safflower oil, but my husband buys the kind in water. I think the one in oil has more flavor. In any case, both are far superior to the cans! I haven't had that tuna salad in forever! Ma used to make that in the summer, along with a couple other salads, like one with ring noodles, cubed ham & veggies, and potato salad and a couple others, and we'd have a salad dinner. Hadn't even thought about that in years, but I always did prefer the tuna salad to all the others. kimberly |

I'm pretty sure he's referring to canned tuna, which *is* low-fat, as opposed to fresh. Tuna as a whole fish is a fatty fish, but it's not added to the canned tuna. A 7 ounce packet of Starkist tuna has 1.75 grams of fat...I'd say that is pretty low-fat. kimberly |

Tuna as a whole fish is a fatty fish, but > it's not added to the canned tuna. Nor is it included in nearly any fresh tuna filet sold at the market or to restaurants. A tuna fish filet from the market has almost as little fat as the canned-in-water version. I've never cooked or carved a whole tuna, I do not know if there are sections of fat to be used in some tuna preparation; if so maybe that supports "tuna is fatty" claims. Steve |

Here I have found one that tastes better than all the rest. What a relief! (I have not tried any of the really expensive single chunk ones in glass jars.) |

Rings, shells, elbows. :-) There must have been a sale on the Chicken of the Sea when I bought it in March (Lent). I've bought the foil pouch stuff before and looks like I'll go back to it. Expensive, though. I think I'm going to make a bit of shrimp salad with the leftover mac and peas that didn't get the tuna. I picked up a jar of Hellman's, too, but am thinking about a one-yolk batch of homemade mayo with only about 1/3 cup or so of oil just to see what that turns out to be. My last batch of homemade stuff was underwhelming and I'm not sure why. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ Huffy and Bubbles Do France: http://www.jamlady.eboard.com |

I once bought what I thought was chunk white (I was on a budget and figured it was going to be mashed up for tuna salad anyway.) I opened the can and the tuna was dark and ugly. My neighbor who had been raised in the Pennsylvania coal mining area was in my kitchen when I proclaimed "eeew! this tuna is spoiled" and was about to throw it out. I was almost 30 years old and had never seen "light" tuna in my entire life. I thought it was spoiled tuna.

They sometimes have really good deals on the pouch tuna. Also, occasionally (thought not lately, sadly), the grocery stores do the 3 ounce pouches 10/$10. It's a bit pricey, especially compared to the price of the cans, but I figure the 7 ounce pouch has way more actual tuna than the cans, so that justifies it for me ![]() I'll have to call mom today to see what it was she made with elbows. I know there was one! She used shells for tuna usually, and the rings had the cubed ham. I just can't remember the elbows! By the way, if you ever get a recipe from one of the Minnesota Mooshy dives, please do pass it along ;-) I get a craving now and then! kimberly |

So, back to tuna for a moment...I picked up both some albacore and some normal tuna in oil, today, to see what kind of differences those factors make. Pricewise, of course, oil and water packs are a push; but the abacore had damn well better be a lot nicer. ![]() -- Blinky Is your ISP dropping Usenet?

I had never even seen chunk tuna, white or light, until many years after I left home. I bought it once, and never again. Solid white was the only thing my mother ever bought. That, and canned *red* salmon, never pink. Those are the only things I buy, too. > I was almost 30 years old and had never seen "light" tuna in my entire > life.

I only use solid white albacore tuna from Bumble Bee. 10 years ago I bought a wholesale club 12-pack of tuna and opened a can and it was the chunk light (already been chewed) tuna. It's probably time to throw out the other 11 cans in the panty. A couple years ago I bought solid white albacore tuna and while squeezing out the water I realized it was packed in oil. I hadn't seen that sold in years. It was so gross I thought something was seriously wrong with the tuna. Darn near couldn't wash the grease off my hands with dish soap. Don't remember if I ate it. My tuna salad usually mixes up with garlic hummus dip for dietary reasons. Sometimes miracle whip free. Peanut butter is Smart Balance smooth (the kind that separates), again for dietary reasons. Now ask yourself what good is a peanut butter sandwich without jelly? ![]() Andy |

I understand being fat, as I was once. I'm very careful about how much mayo I use, just enough to moisten the salad, and I account for the amount of fat in my daily allowance. I can't stand the reduced fat or fat free versions of mayo, so will only use the real thing in a controlled manner. OTOH, I have sometimes used fat-free sour cream instead. It's a nice change. > Do you cheese your tuna salad sandwiches? I used to American cheese > mine. No, I have never put cheese on my tuna salad sandwiches, only a bare smear of mayo on the bread and a leaf or two of lettuce. However, I used to order tuna melts at one of my favorite eateries back in Ohio. That was back in the "fat" days, so the tuna melts were accompanied by an order of slim jim fries and a bowl of creamy coleslaw. > Andy > -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Saturday, 06(VI)/14(XIV)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- Today is: Flag Day ------------------------------------------- In the struggle between you and the world, back the world. --Franz Kafka ------------------------------------------- |

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. Janet |
