Mostly, what greets you when you open up a can is murky water with tuna debris floating on top like the wooden splinters of a galleon sunk by cannon fire. It's not a pretty sight. What lies beneath is not much better either. It's a gooey mush that resembles the by-products of cat food production.

I don't care for albacore so I've been getting just regular tuna fish. Albacore might be a better product but I don't care for the taste. I bought some cans of tuna from Costco which are probably better than the stuff you get in supermarkets in that it's sold in 7 oz cans and is more like the old stuff rather than the new cat-food mush.

I shall go home and try to use it up. I'm not supposed to eat carbs so maybe the tuna can be rolled up in some lettuces.
