Oh nice, 1,90 only...

But is it Tuna? And if, which one? maybe it is a dolphin, maybe a baby-tuna?

and many other websites as well....

It is said that the whole industry is "corrupt".

Bon appetite.

kibsolar, as 25% of Princes Tuna is being caught without the use of fish aggregating devices (Fads) on purse seine nets then perhaps we should buy 4 tins and only eat one.

think you will find that only 130 grams when drained is tuna, the rest is gunge

nonetheless, tinned tuna is versatile, I'm going to experiment with fishcakes shortly

sad that fresh fish is not seen much in north cyprus and has to be tracked down

...in our villiage a fish van visits sometimes but its movements are mysterious

The butlers wife, I think you had better join forces with me!



Andre514, it does actually say on the can "drained weight 130grams" and you are correct, very versatile and a good "kitchen cupboard standby". My favourite is tuna casserole, a Mexican dish.
