Something fishy with this fish!

Was not happy with the taste and smell of this tuna. I always buy Star Kist tuna but something was not right with it this time.

I made the mistake

I made the mistake of not reading reviews before I bought this tuna, I was surprised by the absolute low quality of this product there is not a chunk of tuna in this can and the smell. I tried to give it to my dog he took one bite and walked away.

Horrible

I could only eat one bite because the taste was so horrible. There was a bad after taste too. I had two other people try it and they hated it. It taste like blood or metal. I will not buy it again.

Fast but not completed

Good product. I ordered 10 of these but only received 9 in the package. I think this is just an isolated incident. I am continuing to buy from Sam's for my business.

Taste Good for Canned Tuna

The tuna taste okay, not as good as the tuna in individual packets, but the cans are much cheaper. It is good to have these cans in case of emergency; the taste is okay. The price was right since it was on sale.

Just Nasty!

Opened several cans to make a batch of tuna salad and it was just disgusting inside those cans....absolutely no chunks, it was all mush and smelled like metal. Brought the unopened cans and my proof of purchase in for a refund.

decreasing value

Sorry but these are no longer a value when they keep shrinking the amount of tuna (4 oz) and keep the price the same or raise it higher. Wont buy again

Maybe good for cat food, but not for humans

When these were on Instant Savings, I grabbed the limit of them, and now I have buyer's remorse. Nearly every single can has had bits of dark skin, some as large as a US quarter coin but most in the 1/4" range. There's also a lot of water to drain out of each can. Luckily one of my cats seems to like this tuna, for now at least. I'd even be embarassed to give them to a local food bank.

What has happened to the tuna?

Opened 3 cans to make tuna salad for supper, very, I mean very very little tuna inside the cans, very little. We used 9 paper towels to get at least enough water out so we could make one and a half sandwiches out of 3 cans of tuna and they were thin sandwiches at that.

Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Water

Surprisingly and unexpectedly this Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Water looks like a tuna soup. It is stated on the can that out of the 5 oz total weight, only 4 oz of tuna remain after draining the water. Wishful thinking! Out of 4 cans I drained and strained thru a strainer, I obtained ONLY 10 oz of tuna, meaning that in a 5 oz can only 2.5 oz are tuna. Not to mention the annoyance and waste of time to drain and strain the content while also squeezing the water excess during straining with a tablespoon.
