I love irradiated stuff much more than I love deadly bacteria.
I’ve always thought “chunk light” was repackaged car food.
Do the white albacore instead. I eat that straight from the can...open, drain, toss the lid, a little salt, a little pepper, (maybe a little thousand island dressing)...don’t forget the saltines.
Great snack.
You'd have to go for the albacore white, and try several brands. Notice that all cans are getting smaller. I used to be able to feed two people from one can.
I also like the Italian and Spanish brands of tuna. Some of the kind are in glass jars rather than cans, which means the canner is proud of the texture.
Expect to pay more. I buy the mushy stuff, work in mayo and chopped olives and other stuff--celery, apples, pickles, nuts--and it makes a delicious sandwich spread. But when I make a green salad that I want nice chunks of tuna in--I pay more for the nicer tuna.

Get solid albacore. Or, the foil pouches are nice. Chalk this up to food price inflation. Same weight just more water.
Costco! Better than any other Albacore canned tuna. It’s like tuna steak in a can!
Schooner Tuna - the Tuna with a Heart.
Ditto. Also, I recently bought Shop Rite's store brand on special and was pleasantly surprised that it was not heavy on the liquid, and chunky rather than mushy.
I agree, Kirkland solid white is the best. Starkist is Nancy Pelosi’s company.....
Did you get the 12 ounce cans? We have not had mush in the big cans, but have had with the small ones.
Yes, similar protein, tasty and more cost effective.
And it gives you such a lovely “glow”
Those giant Bluefins are prime for sushi but not so great for canning.
Count me in on the Costco kirkland brand. Just a can full of a cross section of tuna. Never had a “mushy’ can
Amen to that, it’s the only type I eat!
Bumble Bee Chunk White Albacore works for me especially with hot sauce.
We home-can albacore about once a year. Can’t eat store-bought any more.
Having some First World Problems there, huh?
Certain tunas are destined for canned. Most of the better stuff is like fresh or frozen. Whether it’s packed in oil or water may make a difference in how it stands up over time in the can.
I checked on this thread just to see if someone else was hearing the same voices in their head as I was! lol
