Tuna

[poliphilo]

Why- when tinned tuna is so very, very fishy- does fresh tuna taste of nothing?

I was visiting Honfleur once and the tuna fleet was in- and these huge, fat , blue-black fishes- frozen solid-  were lying all over the dock  like unexploded bombs.

More than likely.

Most of the canned tuna we get is preserved in either oil or brine.

do they have any that's packed in water? that's the kind i get, and i've never thought it smelled or tasted particularly fishy

We do. Tuna in spring water. I'm not sure how it tastes because I don't think I've ever knowingly eaten any.
