I'm an avid fisherman in the Bahamas. We catch tuna on a regular basis and regardless of what species be it skipjack, blackfin or yellowfin, it NEVER tastes fishy AT ALL unless it is allowed to age. When people say "fresh fish" they mean "was never frozen". That can be a heck of a lot different than truly fresh fish!! In fact, most of the time there is no comparison. Those commercial boats go out for days or weeks at a time. The catch fish and keep it on ice for days or longer. Well, that is enough time for the meat to take on that characteristic fishy taste. If you instead catch it, cool it down immediately in a fish box fully of slushy water and then clean it within a couple hours then it will last for several days in your fridge without tasting fishy AT ALL. If you don't live near where these fish live, don't expect fresh fish.
Sushi fish would be taken care of like that. Yeah, fresh caught or live fish tastes so much better. Actually, if a fish is dead for even just half a day in the fridge, I can start to taste the texture is not as smooth.
I was also expecting something different. When mixed with Mayo it does make a fairly tasty onigiri.. or just make a nice rice bowl with tuna/ Mayo soy sauce and avocado.
Dude you’re reviewing canned tuna and taking it way too serious. This isn’t sushi grade tuna, and is mainly used for sandwiches, and other foods where it doesn’t matter if the tuna taste is that prominent.
I do not like this brand of tuna from Costco. It lacks the usual taste of tuna that I was expecting and reason I like tuna. Why not tima without the mercury and skip all the other ingredients. I plan to return the unopened cans during next visit to Costco.
