About Tuna in oil
Tuna in oil is cooked tuna packed in edible oil, usually sold in sealed cans or jars. It may be packed as solid pieces, chunks, or flakes. The flesh ranges from pale to pinkish depending on the tuna and processing, and is generally tender and savoury; oil contributes a richer mouthfeel.
It is used drained or with some of the packing oil in salads, sandwiches, and cooked dishes. The product may use different tuna species, cuts, and oils. Drained fish, fish with retained oil, and the full contents of a container are distinct forms.
