Which do u prefer? I usually stick to brine, but in sunflower oil is good when cooking with it.

Olive oil is to expensive.

I used to be a meathead who would bring canned tuna into movie theaters because I needed to eat every 3 hours. I was a dick.

Tuna in water is the way to go.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Olive oil hands down, the rest is trash, even though i mostly eat tuna in water because of how less caloric it is.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Cat like spring water. I don't want this beast runnin on oil.

 

[AJUMP23]

Tuna live in water not oil.

 

[StateofMajora]

chunk light tuna in water although I buy sardines in olive oil.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

if I'm using it in a pasta dish, oil

if I'm making a sandwich, water

Was it still in the can? A quiet movie being interrupted by a battery operated can opener is such a funny thought.

Lol, it was always pre opened. Couldn't do anything about the stink though.

Water. Drain it then you can do whatever the fuck you want with it. If you want/need to add oil then you still can.

 

[Tschumi]

I add the flava myself in the kichin so i detest any additional flavours

 

[Sabotage]

Albacore in water with a pinch of garlic pepper

Pure Evil, the lot of you.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

Water, then drain it and add Kewpie mayo.

 

[joedan]

Each has their uses. Depends on what you're making [shrug]

 

[HoodWinked]

The canned tuna in oil is usually soybean oil. Even if it says olive oil it is usually a blend. Unless it's a higher end brand.

Tuna in water also typically has vegetable broth. Basically the lesser of two evils. Also chunk light has less mercury but there are some brands that are mercury tested for larger tuna.

 

[HarryKS]

Rio Mare, olive oil.

 

[lachesis]

I only use the water one if I have to mix with mayo, like tuna salad.
Pretty much any other application, such as a topping for salad itself, or ingredient of pasta dish or some sort of Korean chi-gae, then definitely oil.

But if I have to buy only one - then I go with water. You can add oil later, but it's really difficult to un-grease (and usually it's messy)

 

[Alebrije]

Water tuna is the best...but real tuna cans not those filled with soy....

 

[Putonahappyface]

Spring water every time.

[zeorhymer]

Tuna? Just water.

 

[MGHA]

Water? wtf. The obvious answer is mayonnaise you wierdos.

 

[Boss Mog]

None of the above. Tuna has far too much mercury and should be avoided as much as possible. Eat sardines or mackerels instead.

It's actually a bit mixed. Cause King Mackerel is high in Mercury.

Atlantic mackerel is on par with skipjack tuna which is typically what's in chunk light.

It's funny cause I used to get albacore tuna cause it was the more prestigious option but because it's mercury content it flipped completely. Paying more for an inferior option makes it a simple decision

While "mackerel" regoups a ton of different fish of different sizes, when I said mackerel I meant the very small kind whose whole filets fit inside a can and who generally have similar mercury levels to that of sardines.

 

[farmerboy]

If the olive oil option doesn't come out in front at the end, I'll lose faith in all humanity.

 

[Liljagare]

Canned ventresca in olive oil is the correct answer. All other forms of tuna are just not nice tasting.

 

[Meicyn]

My man knows what's up. Canned mackerel is hilariously cheap for fish and good for you too. I bounce between that and sardines in hot sauce. Tuna is way overrated.

Nah, helmans.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

Oil

 

[GymWolf]

Spring water, then i press with a fork to let all the water go away and finally add some quality olive oil by myself, maybe some almonds in the middle.

When i was more obsessed with my bb nutrition this shit was basically my breakfast (with some rye bread for carbs), people liked to put their fingers in my armpit to know their internal temperature during that period...

 

[Paulxo87]

olive oil. there is no other way lol. Unless you get those pouches of the flavored tunas. Those are pretty good.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Whatever the hell is in the green cans at Costco. I'm dunking that shit in mayo anyway

Tangent: for what I feel like was the first time I saw a live salmon the other day. I had no idea they were so freakin ugly. Still GOAT fish IMO. The more you know.

 

[Pejo]

This is the correct answer.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Tuna only tastes like tuna in olive oil.
Tuna in water is

 

[Raven117]

Water for just normal protien consumption after workouts.

Oil for when I actually want some high end tuna.

Thank god the ocean is made of olive oil and not icky water.

 

[GusFacsimile]

Oil. Always oil.
