To complain about this Tuna?

[CuriousVole]

John West no drain tuna in sunflower oil.

Genuine AIBU because I’ve not had this before? Usually get Aldi and it’s always looked nice and pink and...Tuna..y

What's wrong with it?

Yeah complain. I have no idea what's up here, but tuna is always worth complaining about. It stinks.

Sorry it’s not uploading the pics!! I’ll try again

Yeah complain. I have no idea what's up here, but tuna is always worth complaining about. It stinks.

Brilliant!

I've never got pink tuna it's always an unappetising grey.

Obviously my battery went at the crucial point

That’s disgusting

2 different tins from the same batch. Is it just me?

I should maybe put something in the title as a warning! But I’m pregnant and have a bit of anxiety anyway and careful with food so to see this I was like.... no.

That looks like tuna to me. Think perhaps the no drain stuff looks a bit different.

Maybe it's the plate. Try it on a white plate.

Does it have a stronger smell than normal, OP?

Looks like tuna. Not sure I understand the problem.

It looks normal to me too. It's just different parts of the fish, like chicken meat can sometimes be totally white and other parts are browner.

Agree the no drain stuff tends to be dry which can make it a bit unappetising.

That does look disgusting.

I have noticed that tuna is a lot pinker than it used to be.

However recently bought some of the small tins, I think it was also the no drain stuff, and it was revolting, looked manky, rotten and smelled bad. Still have the other 2 tins and am carefully avoiding opening them as it was edible, but not by me.

Yeah I tried on a white plate still looked grim haha might just be me though?

It’s reassuring that this looks normal to people though, it’s pribably because I’ve not had this one before

I know the whittards 90s look plates don’t help haha they are a whole other AIBU

There definitely should have a government health warning. Not even sure if mayonnaise would help this look tasty

Well because it wasn’t what I was used to I thought it might have said on the tin “may have some discolouration” or something? I’m probably overthinking this!

I always buy that brand or the Sainsbury's own and it always looks like that. It seems to be the fish around the edges that touches the can that's darker with a bit of a gross taste. Yum

I think there's a degree of drying on the outside. Because it's no drain the fish isn't completely covered in oil like a normal can, so the outside is brown and the inside pink. It's not oxidation as such, because it's packed in a vacuum, so no oxygen, but heat distribution in the retort will be less even, so outside is excessively heat treated.

I think that is because of the 'no-drain'. I went back to getting stuff in spring water because the no drain stuff looked funny.

Thanks, this does make sense. Yeah I think I will stick to what I know, you can taste with your eyes sometimes haha
