Has anyone tried the Kirkland Chunk Light Skipjack Tuna in water yet?
It's 12, 7-ounce cans for about $14 here. I believe that Costco has
dropped the Chicken of the Sea 7-ounce, water pack in favor of the
Skipjack. It's a sustainability issue as well as protecting other
species. Kirkland claims that their skipjack is Free School Caught. I
saw it in the store yesterday and was wondering if I should get some.
I like the idea behind the skipjack.
Any opinions?

Yeah - buy one can and see if you like it. If you want to protect
tuna, eat no species.

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear for you. This item is offered as a case
of 12 cans, only. Costco doesn't sell small canned items by the one.

Thanks, I wasn't aware that Chicken of the Sea was a skipjack product.

No more Chicken of the Sea? Oh no! I'll just have to try the Skipjack. The popular (because it was cheap) canned tuna in Hawaii years ago was Coral, which was probably Skipjack. It had a darker taste than COTS which sorta tastes like chicken. Coral tuna did not taste anything like chicken.

Are you aware that Tuna fish contains levels of Mercury considered
unsafe to humans? Eating any kind of Tuna on a regular basis is
putting unnecessary risk on your health. Alaska Wild Salmon is much
more healthy. This information was provided by Consumer Reports
testing of fishes for levels of contamination.

Once a year would be "on a regular basis". Once a decade would be
"on a regular basis".

I looked at the Consumer Reports data from 2011. They concluded that
2.5 ounces of albacore (which is what I eat) MIGHT exceed the
recommended daily dose. The same amount of light (skipjack) would
not exceed the recommended daily dose.

I think I'll keep eating my monthly tuna sandwich.

Canned tuna lives as a resource in the back of my pantry. Once a
month would be stretching it for frequency. I prefer other fish to
salmon. Truly, there aren't a lot of good choices out there anymore.

I no longer trust any tuna in a can to be tuna at all and if it is
it's full of mercury.

Is this something we should be worried about? Has anyone died from mercury poisoning from eating canned tuna? Seems rather far-fetched and much ado about nothing to me. Then again, I think everything is much ado about nothing anyway.

I don't know how these people can survive being scared all the time. That's a complete waste of the designated time you're allotted in this world. They must want to live forever. Hee hee.

I've never been taken in with all the warnings, alerts, etc. with the food
chain. I do use common sense, and if I were to die tomorrow, well...I didn't
die young so it's worked out well for me. :-)

It's important to live a life without regret. I could die now and not regret a thing. These fearful people must be filled with regret. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

That's good news for a change. Unfor-tuna-tely that's not going to increase my lifespan by any amount of time. Not even a mili-second.

Just out of curiosity, what is it about albacore that you dislike?
I prefer it for its milder flavor. Packed in water, of course.
(Or, lately, packed in a pouch without much liquid at all.)

Why not read up on it before spouting off? You obviously do not
understand what the warnings are about, who needs to be concerned and
how easily it can be accommodated. It'll take about 30 seconds of
online research to understand it.

Ds and Cheri, a wise man once told me to worry only about things we can change. We are
allotted a certain number of worries in our lives, and when we run out, we die. So that is my
philosophy. I worry only about things I can change.

On the other hand, actor Jeremy Piven allegedly ingested toxic
(but not fatal) levels of mercury by eating sushi twice a day
for some extended period of time. I don't know if that story
was proved false, but it was in the news about 3-5 years ago.

Moderation is key.

It has not proven false, but, yes, moderation is the answer.

Piven reported eating sushi twice a day for 20 years - way, way, way
beyond what is typical. AND the kinds of fish he preferred may be part
of it, too. Blue fin, for example, is towards the top of its food
chain so it would contain more mercury. Shark and swordfish are also
collectors, although less likely to be eaten as sushi.

Mercury accumulation is of particular concern to pregnant women or
those planning pregnancies, and to children.

I solved the canned tuna dilemma a couple of years ago by switching to
canned chicken breast... when prepared/seasoned the same as tuna it
tastes not much different... costs a lot less too. I primarily
switched because the cans of tuna shrunk to a ridiculously puny size
and the quality shrunk likewise, opening a can of tuna became a
crapshoot. I've never been disappointed with canned chicken breast. I
also got tired of having to open so many cans, with the chicken one
can is plenty for two adults plus a treat for the cats.

Not a very wise man, then you must worry all the time because there
isn't much about ones life that can't be changed if one chooses...
thing is most people would rather not change how they live... truth is
most people are concerned/obsessed with changing how others live.

Since you occasionally shop Sam's Club, you should check out their
canned tuna. I am assuming that they are mimicking Costco and Costco
canned tuna is 7 ounces just like it used to be in our regular
supermarkets. Costco refused to reduce the size of canned tuna.

Oh, there's a lot that can't be changed.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

I already know that it's not a problem for me even though I am human. Saying that tuna is unsafe for humans is not saying anything at all.

Who said it? Are you creating a straw tuna?
