Costco Skipjack Tuna

[Janet B]

Has anyone tried the Kirkland Chunk Light Skipjack Tuna in water yet?
It's 12, 7-ounce cans for about $14 here. I believe that Costco has
dropped the Chicken of the Sea 7-ounce, water pack in favor of the
Skipjack. It's a sustainability issue as well as protecting other
species. Kirkland claims that their skipjack is Free School Caught. I
saw it in the store yesterday and was wondering if I should get some.
I like the idea behind the skipjack.
Any opinions?
Janet US

[Gary]

Yeah - buy one can and see if you like it. If you want to protect
tuna, eat no species.

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear for you. This item is offered as a case
of 12 cans, only. Costco doesn't sell small canned items by the one.

No more Chicken of the Sea? Oh no! I'll just have to try the Skipjack. The popular (because it was cheap) canned tuna in Hawaii years ago was Coral, which was probably Skipjack. It had a darker taste than COTS which sorta tastes like chicken. Coral tuna did not taste anything like chicken.

Five years? No exchanges for you or I'd be giving you free
mattresses for life. If policy required me to do so, I'd give
you a damn refund and then ban you from my store for life.

I wanted to get a 5 yr old air conditioner repaired and asked Costco
where I needed to take it as they often have their own service
arrangements. We had it in the car as our next stop would have been
the service center. they directed us to.

They asked us to bring the unit in to get a serial number. In looking
up the records, they saw that the unit was actually 6 years old and
out of warranty. I apologized for taking up their time and thanked
them for checking the records.

They refunded me my full purchase price. I did not ask for that -
never even hinted at it. The idea never crossed my mind.

This sort of customer relations is why I am a devoted customer and
stock owner.

Once a year would be "on a regular basis". Once a decade would be
"on a regular basis".

I looked at the Consumer Reports data from 2011. They concluded that
2.5 ounces of albacore (which is what I eat) MIGHT exceed the
recommended daily dose. The same amount of light (skipjack) would
not exceed the recommended daily dose.

I think I'll keep eating my monthly tuna sandwich.

Canned tuna lives as a resource in the back of my pantry. Once a

salmon. Truly, there aren't a lot of good choices out there anymore.

Is this something we should be worried about? Has anyone died from mercury poisoning from eating canned tuna? Seems rather far-fetched and much ado about nothing to me. Then again, I think everything is much ado about nothing anyway.

Just out of curiosity, what is it about albacore that you dislike?
I prefer it for its milder flavor. Packed in water, of course.
(Or, lately, packed in a pouch without much liquid at all.)

It has not proven false, but, yes, moderation is the answer.

Piven reported eating sushi twice a day for 20 years - way, way, way
beyond what is typical. AND the kinds of fish he preferred may be part
of it, too. Blue fin, for example, is towards the top of its food
chain so it would contain more mercury. Shark and swordfish are also
collectors, although less likely to be eaten as sushi.

Mercury accumulation is of particular concern to pregnant women or
those planning pregnancies, and to children.

[Brooklyn1]

I solved the canned tuna dilemma a couple of years ago by switching to
canned chicken breast... when prepared/seasoned the same as tuna it
tastes not much different... costs a lot less too. I primarily
switched because the cans of tuna shrunk to a ridiculously puny size
and the quality shrunk likewise, opening a can of tuna became a
crapshoot. I've never been disappointed with canned chicken breast. I
also got tired of having to open so many cans, with the chicken one
can is plenty for two adults plus a treat for the cats.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

George H. W. Bush: A pedophile sex ring leader

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert
Walker Bush (GHWB), the current but ailing patriarch of the Bush Family
Dynasty – I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly
not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather
who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death.
This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.

In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.

Clinton’s election was a planned transition of power to allow the NWO or
New World Order advocated by Bush, Sr., to solidify and move forward
after a more suitable puppet was elected President to carry out the New
World Order Agenda (NWO) agenda – our current president, Barack Hussein
Obama. Your deduction is right, GHWB left office willingly to promote
the NWO by having Clinton elected (electronic voter fraud) and Perot
neutralized! This is the power they currently possess. They are
amazingly ruthless and efficient while amazingly arrogant and stupid at
the same time.

I've never seen or heard of 7oz canned tuna. 5 ounces now but used to
be 6 ounces back since at least the 1970/s. I've got the old BC

Ah, well. I like "much less taste", and my only use for tuna is in
tuna salad sandwiches, so neither of your other dislikes is a problem
for me.

When I make tuna salad, it has pretty much equal parts tuna, celery,
and onion.

Different strokes for different folks.

Sandwiches are pretty much what I do, but I add mayo, sometimes
sandwhich spread. I also add black pepper and a bit of fresh curley
leaf parsley and dill. Sometimes instead of sandwiches I mix the tuna
salad with orzo and eat it on a bed of lettuce and ripe tomatoes.
You'd probably enjoy using canned chicken instead of tuna as I do...
gives more meaning to "Chicken of the sea". After two years of
chicken instead of tuna I don't think about tuna, don't miss it at
all, I think the canned chicken is better. I tried the canned turkey,
don't like it. I'm not much for turkey in any form, I only roast a
turkey for Thanksgiving because it's traditional and what guests
expect otherwise for me I'd prefer to roast a fresh ham... a fresh ham
is a lot easier to prepare and carve and I like it better than turkey
or cured ham. I consider a fresh ham the king of roasts, leagues
ahead of prime rib. I don't even like prime rib, the times I've
ordered it at restaurants or chose it at a catered affair I've been
disappointed, just too fatty and tasteless. Fresh ham is much leaner
(its fat is on the exterior and easy to avoid but wonderful as
chichirone, far better than bacon and doesn't have that
artificial/chemical schtink like bacon) and more flavorful, I like the
texture better than turkey too... roast fresh ham sandwiches are the
best, hot or cold. I'm about due for a fresh ham, but not easy to
find except for Thanksgiving thru Easter.... maybe for New Year I'll
prepare a fresh ham, boned and stuffed. I'd omit the rosemary and
instead add toasted hazelnuts:

Thank you. I, too, add mayonnaise to tuna salad, but didn't feel it
was germane to my discussion of the relative quantities of celery,
onions, and tuna.

What little I've had of canned chicken, I didn't like. It's too mushy
and overcooked. I prefer to grill chicken, just to doneness.

My husband and I both like turkey; we cook one three or four times a
year. We like fresh ham (it's wonderful spit-roasted on the grill),
but we also like prime rib, which we cook at least once a year, and
often two or three times. We love bacon; I just bought a pound
of it in anticipation of tomato season. BLT with homegrown tomatoes
is a favorite.

I buy skipjack, but don't use water-pack anymore. I look for oil. I also quit buying Chicken of the Sea and that ilk because you usually get more oil/water than fish.

Since the New Deal, Republicans have been on the wrong side of every
issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in
Vietnam, equal rights, civil liberties, church- state separation,
consumer issues, public education, reproductive freedom, national health
care, labor issues, gun policy, campaign-finance reform, the environment
and tax fairness. No political party could remain so consistently wrong
by accident.
The only rational conclusion is that, despite their cynical "family
values" propaganda, the Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy to
betray the interests of the American people
in favor of plutocratic and corporate interests, and absolutist
religious groups.

Fourteen hundred years ago Islam gave women rights; rights that could

been the subject of books, articles, essays, and lectures. Sadly
however, convincing the world that Muslim women are not oppressed by
Islam is a message that is just not getting through. Media headlines
scream oppression and the words Muslim, women, and oppression seem to
have become inextricably linked.

No matter what Muslim women do or say to try to convince the world
otherwise, words like hijab, burka, polygamy, and Sharia seem to do
little but convince people that Islam oppresses women. Even educated,
articulate women fulfilling the modest conditions of hijab can do little
to dispel the myths. Women who conduct themselves with decorum and
grace and function effortlessly in the modern world have their
achievements and successes celebrated. However, if a woman wears a
scarf, covers her hair or puts her religion above worldly pursuits she
is immediately labelled oppressed. One wonders if this is the case for
women of other religious persuasions.
