VS the cans of tuna at the grocery store - since these don't contain water, do you find that these stretch further? (Family of six here).

I find that there is more substance and flavor so I use less in my salads. It also does not contain added ingredients. It is the only tuna I eat but I am not feeding a family of 6 so don't think I am truly qualified to answer that.

Not really, the tuna is so good, I don't add anything to it except a little mayonnaise.

I don't know that they stretch much farther. There is no ADDED water, but the canning process does cause some liquid to be in the can. However, I no longer drain that off, I simply add it to whatever I am making. IN tuna salad, this means that I need less mayo to keep it moist.

These do have a little water in them. If I had a family of six, I'd buy big cans. Skipjack is good because low mercury lets you eat it more often. Maybe Wild Planet makes big cans.

I order the albacore. I use this product to limit mercury consumption. Mercury levels are extremely high in supermarket brands of tuna. While this is expensive, it is the best tasting tuna as well.

These previous answers are absolutely on target: about the size of a "regular" can of tuna; not the little cans of cat food. The size of Friskies you usually see in the store.

Unfortunately not. It would be so much better if they were! You better have all your food ready because the absorbers have a shelf life once they are opened.

I would not put water inside, but they do have a tight seal for dry snacks. A little difficult for kids hands to open.

Have not really noticed much difference from one can to another. One might have a little more liquid at the top. It really makes no difference. The bigger problem has been cans coming in dented. I have had to call twice and Amazon replaced them.

I use them for mayo, mustard and ketchup. Never had any issues but i haven't tried water.

Hello, the Kirkland albacore is caught in the cold North Atlantic they say at least 100 miles off coast so they never have problems with mercury & belive it is flash frozen. It is fresher than I have bought at most docks, the fresh tuna at docks has always been fishy tasting since its stored on ice not knowing how old it really is. Not sure where it is canned at but have never had a bad can. The tuna I bought in CA is where its been fishy tasting never bought it in the atlantic. Not sure how it is caught.

I don't, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't... we go through them pretty fast and our pantry is dry, dark and cool. Like any grain/seed/nut, they will spoil. Refrigeration should extend the shelf life, just make sure the container is tightly closed.

Yes, they seem to fit other regular sized canned vegetables (13 - 15 oz), sweetened condensed milk, and even tuna.

Most likely, but that's just a guess. I only open a can about every 2 weeks or less. This is the best tuna by far in a can.

Mary, I don't have a can at this time to check, but my wife and I are aware of salt issues and didn't detect noticeable sodium in our cans of Salmon.

We've never tried to open a large can of tuna. What exactly do you mean by "large?" Large circumference, or just tall? We've never had an issue with this can opener not opening what we stuck in it, but we've never done large tuna cans...only normal sized ones.

They seem to do just fine in the fridge, and subjectively, they do seem to keep fruits and vegetables longer. However, my wife and I tend not to buy tons of produce at a time (it's just the two of us so we buy just what we need for a day or two), but we love the fact that we are using less plastic.

If you clock in to hurt yourself at a buffet twice a week, then no, you will not be satisfied. It will keep you alive and did not cause me to crave water when I tested them. They fill a little oily (just a little) but that makes them go down easier. These are meant as an emergency, not as a meal substitute like a balance or slim fast bar.

In theory yes, but chances are they're slimy on the inside and at that point it just like trying to seal a greasy wet ziplock. How does that usually turn out? Only you can't pinch out the wet stuff with strength and motivation. Imagine turning that over to a three yeaar old. You're at the mercy of a cheap contraption pushing .5 oz of pressure with an ashtmatic pump gasping for air. Spent $50 making that truffle oil cheese lasagna with fresh basil? Faahhgettabboutttitt

I double stack all the time--canning tuna-- and have the water level at about a third of the way up on the bottom level of jars. Hope this was helpful to you.

No. These are all real meat fish, some with consume, no gravy. It's no fillers, just meat. It's so fresh I sometimes think an eyeball will be looking at me when I open the can! My cats devour this stuff; it's better quality than most tuna for humans. Far better than pate.
