>$3 for 12.5 ounce can
>almost half full of water
>nearly $7 per pound of actual meat

Not to mention it tastes like crap and has the texture of Play-Doh.

Makes you wonder why canned tuna manages to be pretty cheap compared to frozen.

Canned tuna doesn't need to be 1 chunk of meat
It's essentially the scraps from the good parts

So that's why canned tuna tastes like cat food.

Sure its overpriced but its ready to eat and you can make it work if you season the shit out of it. I season it with taco seasoning in a bit of water and use it for quesadilla.

Is there any merit to canned tuna? I love tuna so should I just stick to pouches?

They're the same, just in a different package. You have shit taste user.

Whats a better cheap fish food? I buy cooked shrimps sometime from my local joint but theyre $7-8 a pound $$$$

Tilapia and cod are cheap, you can get a couple pounds of some good frozen filets by for around the same price as that pound of shrimp. Their flesh is mild and sweet, so they can accept a lot of different seasonings.

cheap chicken is the most disgusting meat on the planet, even fresh, its one of the few meats where you can tell the difference from organic vs non-organic
