What kind of tuna goes into a can?
"Solid white tuna" as stated on can is Albacore only and is regulated by the FDA.... "Chunk Light Tuna" on the can means it can be any kind of tuna but not Albacore. Such as Big Eye, Yellowfin, Blackfin, Bluefin or any other species of the darker fleshed tuna. That's why canned "solid white tuna" costs more in the market.I think you only got it half right. Only albacore can be called "white." The difference between "chunk" and "solid" is whether the tuna in the can is one whole piece (solid) or bits and pieces (chunk). If you look I think you will find most of the premium you pay is for a solid piece of tuna. For a tuna fish sandwich there's seems to be no point in paying extra for a solid piece, but maybe other uses call for a solid piece.
