AUGUSTA, MAINE -- Today I used the second can of Van Camp's Chicken of the Sea Chunk Light Tuna that I had in my cupboard. When I opened the can it looked like slivers of tuna floating around in broth. I couldn't even squeeze all the water out of the can because the mushy tuna wanted to squeeze out with it. Adding mayonnaise made the tuna even more wet, making it the consistency of soup. My complaint is (actually it's more like a question) - How can a company say it's chunk light tuna when it's really not? I think this company should go back in time and use whatever old processing that really was chunk light.
I remember that time and I was pleased with the chunk light tuna that really did have chunks of tuna in it. I've always thought of Chicken of the Sea as a top-notch company. I'm very disappointed.
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- Bought a four pack of solid white tuna. Opened and it looked like mush and the fish smell was overpowering. I had some in a salad, but my husband refused to eat it in a sandwich because of the smell. I called the tuna council and Chicken of the sea but only got to leave messages.
CALIFORNIA -- Buyer beware. Chicken of the Sea Tuna and other products are total mush, terrible and some makes you sick, not even good enough for my pets. Please beware and save your money, as this has been going on for years now and I will never by Chick of the Sea again. Please tell all your friends, help them not make the same costly mistake. Thank you.
I agree with another writer. Purchased a multi can pack of chunk light tuna and it is so watery that it cannot be strained without losing the tuna that is there (my cats like it- their tuna juice is a lot chunkier). Tuna fish salad for sandwiches comes out like tuna soup with celery and onion. Tuna casserole, the entire can went in, forget straining it. Whatever process they are using now for packing the cans is not working for those of us who eat tuna on a regular basis.
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- I was extremely upset with this product. First, it was unbelievably WATERY. I had to open 2 cans that should have equaled 1 can. Second, I had found SEVERAL BONES. Third, there were FISH SCALES in it!!! What kind of product are they selling here?? Yes, I understand it is a generic brand, but please!! What I had opened seemed OK for CATS. NOT PEOPLE!
The product is Chicken of the Sea chunk white albacore. This is some kind of tuna that is floating in a can of gelatiny glop. Awful to look at let alone eat. The can does not state where this fish came from and the company is one of those coward companies that has no address or phone number on their website. They ask you for all of your personal information and give you none of theirs. No more COTS tuna for this shopper. Buyer beware.
SUWANEE, GEORGIA -- I purchased two cans of white crab meat, which is quite expensive. I tasted a bit to see how salty it was. It was full of shell. I kept on tasting several bites and each and everyone had so much shell that it crunched when I tried to chew. I had to discard both cans and there went my seafood gumbo.
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- Upon opening the can Chicken of the Sea crab meat I couldn't believe my eyes, someone or something must have regurgitated into the can. Not only was the appearance unappetizing but the tiny bit I reluctantly tried was crunchy with either sand or bits of shell. Forget the taste, I didn't even go that far! Another important complaint, had I seen the product was from Thailand I would not have purchased it. From now on I'll be more diligent nor will I buy any product from this company again.
