Aren't you supposed to get healthier from doing that?

>> No.19343833

>>19343827
eating actual tuna yes
what comes in a can is the waste from processing tuna suspended in either oil or vegetable broth. it's kinda like the fish equivalent of a hotdog

>> No.19343846

>>19343833
I thought it was the waste on the sea the fish experiences that did that.

So like regular groceries then.
Anyway, maybe not mercury poisoning but cancer definetely.

Is that an American thing? Canned tuna here is comes with a whole chunk of meat. If you are poor you can also buy "tuna crumbs", but these come in a pouch. Even then, this nothing like the mechanically separated meat used in hotdogs, it is just a bunch of small chunks instead of just one big chunk of meat.

im only eating tuna in the first place because i got bored of sardines. sorry

There is solid tuna, chunk tuna, and chunk light tuna. Solid and chunk are usually albacore and are bigger pieces. Chunk light is from a different fish, usually actually a mix of smaller types of tuna. I'm not an expert but I'd wager that the chunk light, coming from smaller fish, would actually have less mercury.

Chunk light is actually superior for sandwiches and salads, fight me.

I don't want to fight I'm a fan of the smaller fishes. Mackerel, herring, sardines, when I worked at Subway I know they used chunk light because I had to prep it. Didn't stop people from buying it, tastes great mixed with mayo. Each on their own though the albacore is better in my opinion, at least flavor at texture wise.

No. You are a fucking retard. I will come to your house and beat the crap out of you until you are so retarded that you will have to go to a nursing home at the age of 20 because I will have turned you into an idiot.

Pink fish is disgusting. If you like “fishy”flavours, I consider you less than human

I just ate one of these the fish was bigger than a sardine but smaller than a mackerel. Spines and skin included but they're soft like sardines despite being bigger fish

Skipjack/light tuna has about 1/3 the mercury but according to the fda i should still only have 1 can every 3 days.
