Very important question
So one of my flatmates seems to think it's acceptable to buy tins of tuna in sunflower oil. Ugh. Whatever liquid my tuna comes in, most of it I will drain off. But still... I don't like tuna in oil. The oil gets everywhere. Also, once my tuna is out of the tin, I will cover it with more mayonnaise than is healthy and that has plenty of oil in it as it is, I don't need more.
Also, I have a pussycat at home who LOVES AND ADORES TUNA SO MUCH; if I open a tin of tuna he is suddenly there, rubbing around my legs and miaowing and purring at me and being my bestest friend ever. I always give him what I drain off the tuna (and a little bit of the fish too) and he thinks I am the best person ever for a good five minutes after that. Tuna in oil would be horribly unhealthy for my poor boy, I would never give him a bowl full of oil like that.
Of course, in Cambridge, I have no feline hoover to help me out (and god, you don't know how guilty I feel when I pour all that brine/water down the sink because he would love it so much), so feline health concerns are not an issue. Even then, I much prefer tuna in brine as a first choice, though tuna in spring water is also acceptable.
So... a poll:
Poll Tinned tuna
