There are three types of canned tuna in the Chinese market, namely water, vegetable oil and olive oil, and all three canned tuna are simple in composition, with only a combination of tuna, salt and water or oil. The texture of the fish is complete, it is a large cut, the color is ochre brown, the texture is firm, the fish taste is sweet and fragrant, and the taste is slightly chai. The flavor of canned tuna soaked in water is relatively jerky, slightly sour, so it is recommended to take it out and cook it. The oil-soaked model has high palatability, and there is a lot of oil in the tank, but fortunately, the quality of the oil is good, the taste is light, and it is not greasy. The canned tuna sold in China is only 120g, which is relatively small compared to most brands on the market, but the weight of the fish can reach about 80g after draining the liquid, and the proportion of solids is not low.
At present, it can be purchased on some domestic e-commerce platforms, and the price of each can is about 20 yuan, which is already at a high level among similar goods. It should be noted that if you buy canned tuna online, you may receive inventory that was produced earlier, but the commercial sterility of canned food often gives it a much longer shelf life than other processed foods, and generally does not affect normal consumption if the packaging is not damaged; Consumers who are concerned about this are advised to take the initiative to confirm the production date with the seller at the time of purchase.
