1.0 out of 5 stars Not up to standard, April 4, 2011

I'm well into my sixth decade of life, and tuna has always been a favorite food. By now I've found Chicken of the Sea to be my favorite brand with larger, lighter, firmer chunks. That's not what came in the case I got. Perhaps this only happens when the product is discounted deeply (I paid about fifty cents per can), but what I got was darker flakes of mushy tuna floating in water. When I squeezed out the water by depressing the lid the tuna filled less than half the depth of the can. I suppose I got what I paid for, but with each can I open my opinion of Chicken of the Sea goes down another notch.

I bought this as kind of a food storage "survival" item, but we keep eating it. It seems that having a case of tuna on hand is good when you haven't been able to get to the grocery store for a while, or someone just wants something different or a quick snack. I will definitely continue to keep this in my pantry at home.

2.0 out of 5 stars Something has changed in the last few months, August 9, 2011

I've been eating Chicken of the Sea chunk light tuna for years. I preferred it over other common grocery store brands because the tuna came in good sized chunks (similar to the consistency of solid white albacore of other brands) and was generally very good quality.

In the last several months, something has changed. As another reviewer noted recently, what you get now is a can full of finely chopped up mush that is much darker in color and not nearly as tasty. I thought maybe it was a fluke and I bought a bad can, but I've gone through about 10 straight cans over a 4 month period, and they've all been of the same substandard quality. Perhaps the company started cutting corners or using inferior quality fish to improve its profits; whatever the reason, I cannot eat this trash any more and am on a search for a better tuna fish.
