Canned tuna has always tasted quite "odd" to me…theres something off about the taste, especially the ones in oil or brine. Tuna in springwater is the least offensive but stil meh.
I tried some cheap canned sardines from a brand called Seacrown and they tasted way better than any canned tuna I have ever tasted. Very flavourful and juicy, and roughly the same price. Totally gonna switch over to canned sardines now.
Only if it doesn't have a spinal cord through it. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
I agree with this. The bones are gross.
The John west skinless and boneless salmon is good
Its "okay" i guess. But canned sardines have way more flavour for me.
I prefer sardines to tuna, but only when I don’t have to see them being squished up. Knowing I’m eating like 10 little fish eyes makes me squirmish. I assume they taste better because the body is kept in tact.
Red salmon tasted the best.
I find canned salmon repulsive compared to tuna but I should make the switch due to mercury concerns. As far as I'm aware canned sardines have heavy metal toxicity concerns of their own, so it should be once or maaaaaybe twice a week maximum. Fresh salmon though, mhmmm… delicious.
You could eat fish everyday and suffer no effects from mercury.
We know this because people have already done this for many generations.
Holy Sh1tballs you have scientific data purporting that people can ingest fish from contaminated waters every single day of the week in 2018 with no adverse health affects such as the heavily documented heavy metal poisoning?
Oh you can't? Yikes… enjoy the tuna.
I like anchovies and tuna. Sardines look too gross, I've never really tried them. I don't like canned salmon (spinal cord, gross) or smoked salmon (too slimy) but I do like baked or fried fresh salmon fillets with skin. Mmm crispy.
Mackerel is good for curries. Pink salmon if you can't get it.
Canned sardines, the ones in springwater or olive oil, stink. If you drain the can down the sink, the sink stinks. How do you deal with that? I like them them and would like to eat more of them but I find the logistics quite a chore compared to tuna. I suppose I can stick with sardines in tomato sauce. Otherwise the only solution I can think of is to drain them outside on the grass and toss the can in the recycling bin without washing it. But then the bin stinks.
They taste completely different.
What sort of canned tuna have you tried? I like the yellowfin (e.g. Coles and Sirena) but not some other brands which I think are skipjack.
I usually get coles tuna in springwater.
Is that the cheap Coles tuna (about 80 cents a small can, I think) or the yellowfin at $1.30? The latter is much nicer.
How do you tell which is the yellowfin? I get the 425g cans.
@Question: I'm not sure whether the yellowfin is available in the 425g. I've only seen the 95g for $1.30 and they are clearly labelled with "yellowfin".
@emibel19: Oh, I found what you were referring to. No its not the yellowfin. Its way more expensive than the normal coles tuna though.
if you like sardines, you can't complain that anything tastes odd, your tastebuds are clearly broken
tried canned salmon before?
