I avoid albacore in general

You sound like a colossal faggot.
I can only hope you find solace in choking yourself on your boyfriend’s massive dick while whining about a product that tastes like any other typical canned tuna.

I worked on a boat catching albacore one summer when I was 16, for those who don't know albacore are caught on lines and its possible to get them fairly close to shore so small sport boats will get commercial licenses and do just enough catching and selling of fish to maintain that license and the financial benefits that come with it. Anyway, those boats aren't the ones with massive refrigerated holds, they just get as much tuna as they can keep in burlap bags and boxes on deck and pour water over it to keep it "cool" and get it to shore within 3-4 days of catching the first ones.

Needless to say those fish are pretty nasty at that point, and Bumble Bee was the one dock that never turned them down...I'll never forget picking them up to offload them into a giant bucket, the outer 1/4" or so of the skin was like sticky snot jelly made from putrid warm tuna and would stick to your hand...you couldn't wear gloves because they'd just clog up and get too slippery, and you had to work insanely fast because there was a line of boats with more putrid warm tuna behind you.

I've eaten canned tuna since then but not bumble bee...I also know people who worked as packers in the cannery and they have all kinds of horror stories too.

>>17799144
Small world, we had an oil spill here recently and because fishing supports life here, we continued shipping tuna despite the fish being contaminated. But you know what? You’re going to keep buying it. You’re going to buy it, eat it and shut your fucking mouth. You hearing me faggot?

When I was much younger, I used to listen to my father’s tales of the Bumblebee Dock.
He was a fisherman, as was my grandfather before him.
They called it the “dock of last resort”. Nobody went there unless their vessel was rejected by the uppity Starkist and ChickenOfTheSea docks.
My father even told me of the day his vessel was denied permission to dock at Isla Red Lobster.
They had no choice. It was Bumblebee Dock or nothing..
So as fishermen do, they unloaded the fish and took on a temporary cargo of local whores. But these were Bumblebee whores. My father said “it was like fucking a tuna, but it had something kinda like tits”. And that whore gave birth to me.

No, the best part is seeing smug children act as if it's beyond the realm of possibility that a seafood cannery located in a coastal town would have their own dock facilities where fishing boats could unload their catch.

I'd love to hear how they think those fish got from the ocean to the cannery, if not via a dock.

bumblebee busses?

Big fish are contaminated with heavy metals like mercury and industrial pollutants.
Seafood in general is suspect because industrial wastes usually ends in the ocean, but the toxic pollutants increases in the bigger fish since they are eating the toxic small fish and it concentrates in the body.

Tuna and Albacore are *very* different. I love Tuna, I cannot stand Albacore, which tastes like rotten chicken to me.

>>17799565
The albacore (Thunnus alalunga), known also as the longfin tuna, is a species of tuna of the order Perciformes.

Van Camps built this elaborate dock in San Diegos tuna harbor to distract from the fact that swimmers would actually tow the fish from offshore to a cave in sunset cliffs, from where it was whisked into waiting cabs inder cover of darkness and driven to a holding facility in Yuma, AZ and then loaded onto helicopters that offloaded them at NAS North Island, where they were loaded by off duty navy crews onto barges for the trip back across the bay to the cannery. None of the boats or people in pic related are real.
