Tuna in a tin

Efour2 said:
??? Its a tin of fish caught and packaged within about 24 hours, so its pretty fresh.

After that whats the shelf life of a tin ?? 2 years, much much longer ten years??

ofc a fresh fish will be fresher(lol)

The food stays edible yes, but I was wondering if it loses it's goodness. Thank you for your input.
 
did someone once tell me that it is not advisable to eat more than the equivalent of 2 tuna steaks a week as they have high levels of something that is not particularly good for humans in certain amounts?

or am i thinking of something else?

Mercury, but it's a tiny amount. The 2 tuna steak thing is for pregnant women and probably not needed.
 
lol goodness, how bizarre, my old mum used to go on about goodness so me and my sister used to call her the Victorian crazy cat women. (long story) Vitamins and minerals i guess aka goodness will be sealed in the tin. Along with all the arsenic, selenium and badaidsium.
 
turn it into a milkshake?

i like tinned tuna but always get it in sunflower oil, and adjust a "recipe" to account for extra greeeeassseee. I sometimes crack a tin open and just add a twist of salt and cracked pepper and eat.
 
it's amazing how one advertising campaign has turned an oil no one had heard of 5 years ago into a "ZOMG NO OMEGA 3!!!!!" necessity.

If you buy tuna that is 'dolphin friendly' which I believe is the case for every bit of tuna whether fresh or canned in UK supermarkets then you aren't doing anything wrong.

There are some restaurants in the UK which serve Blue Fin Tuna, sourced from Japanese waters... Nobo came under particular fire because it does. Otherwise, it's not different to the enivormental effect of eating any other type of fish.

Pretty much correct. Bluefin is on the brink of extinction and you really ought to avoid it or it'll never recover. You won't get it in tins though. There was a rumour that someone still had it on their menu but I don't think they do any more. If that 'The End of the Line' film is to be believed then the Japs have been stockpiling it in deep freeze for years.

Pole and line is what you need to look for, for sustainable tuna in a tin. I was a bit skeptical how all the supermarkets can be full of tins of tuna from so called line caught tuna but Greenpeace wrote a very large well referenced article on it and I deemed it ok after. It's not so much about the dolphins, it's more about the fish stocks which are dwindling.
 
I believe Nobu (yes I spelt it wrong earlier... you win the prize daz) still has it on the menu, but they put a warning about them being under threat after celebrity pressure and that BBC documentary with the guy who investigates food.

I didn't realize I was eating Bluefin when I had a meal there.
 
Lots of sheer ignorance in this thread. There is no excuse.

Bluefin Tuna has essentially been fished to extinction, the only ones left are the tiny Skipjack Tuna, and these are disappearing fast.

Within only a few years, its predicted Bluefin will be extinct, along with Skipjack also.

The way the Tuna are fished with enormous purse nets is disgusting. You can see them all terrified and clamouring to get out as the net squeezes them tighter and tighter.

But hey, as long as you have a smelly sandwich along with your "fashionable" sushi then who cares right??
