Mackerel is cheaper and tastier and has less mercury.

>>20608257
mercury poisoning is a lie by big salmon to keep you away from delicious affordable fish like tuna

>>20608257
Twice a week is the recommended limit. If you get mercury tested tuna though you can eat that kind as much as you want.
>>20608261
It also tastes nothing like tuna.

>cheap
?
It's more expensive than chicken or pork.
>>20608261
?
I can get tuna for, like, 69¢/tin, three of which makes a pound IE $2.07/lb
I prefer mackerel and it's $2.09 per tin. Mackerel is literally three times the price. Unless you're talking about those gigantic tins. That mackerel is poopshits unfit for human consumption and you ought to be ashamed.

>nothing like tuna
?
Unless you mean the poopshits mackerel, it has a very similar flavour to tuna but it's different enough that I have a preference of one over the other (mackerel > tuna).
Poopshits mackerel tastes like poopshits and nothing like tuna.

sardines kinda taste like tuna if you mash them up

Mercury poisoning is overblown and suggested limits cannot apply to the entire population equally, and therefore are aimed at the most susceptible group (pregnant women, iirc).
Chunk light has less mercury than other types so buy that if you're concerned.

>>20608351
The only mercury tested brand I've seen was Safe Catch and it was like $4/can and was literally the texture of soupy cat food. No chunks at all and generally tasted pretty bad. In fact, the cats got the other can.

>>20608257
Just get sardines. Less mercury.

Once I went on a 7 or 8 month cut eating basically nothing but canned tuna and rice. I lost ~60 lbs and however many IQ points from lead poisoning seemed to be negligible

>>20609425
>negligible
Clearly not since it's not lead poisoning that you get from tuna, my hat-making friend.

please give me a break i'm esl and hungover and just woke up take it back i am not brain damaged i am not brain damaged I AM NOT BRAIN DAMAGED

>>20609434
>i'm esl
As am I (actually, it's my fourth language if you consider local dialect to be separate).
Anyway, you're so batty from your all-tuna diet that your urine can be used for felting.

Get a load of this poster >>20608261 scared of Mercury.

Enjoy your AIDS

So you're saying that you wanted sex with Freddie? I must admit that sounds quite homosexual

>>20608257
I've been eating a tin of tuna almost every day for the past 3 years of my life. Those commonly cited mercury limits presume you're a 100 pound girl.

It's absolutely nothing like tuna, at all.

No, just that Freddie had bubonic superAIDS that you could catch just being in the same room long enough.

semen is mostly carbohydrates

3 or 4 tins a week

>>20608257
Loaded with mercury and other metals.

Recently I discovered that canned tuna is great with a dash of ketchup, it's kinda like tuna in tomato sauce

>>20609680

Whenever someone asks this I always luke them here
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-24/canned-tuna-safe-mercury-level/100933832

If you dont want to read the whole thing:

>You would have to eat around 25 tins (at 95g a tin) of it a week before you hit the maximum tolerable intake of mercury.

In short, its not even remotely an issue
