Hope I was right ..well actually I'd rather be wrong. Thought I was told Starkist and Chicken of the Sea were being processed in China. I'd noticed instead of nice flaky tuna they had become mush. Just bought some Bumble Bee White Albacore...haven't looked at yet. Not sure now as person I thought told me says they're being processed on boats at sea. I'm confused now! But, as with other things they may not be required to list country of origin. I hate that don't you??

checked at HEB yesterday and most of the canned fish there is made somewhere far, far away, like Indonesia, Vietnam, China etc.
I almost never buy anything HEB brand if I can avoid it. No, those were Starkist, CoS, BB and others.
BTW it makes me always wonder why the majority of fish sold in cans is tuna. There are few cans of something else like salmon, sardines, if you very lucky you might see mackrell or, yeah... when I think about ... what else?? except shrimps, crab, ousters, and ( rarely) mussels??
There are so many sorts of fish, ethnic stores sell at least a dozen others but a regular grocery store has mostly... tuna
The HEB brand will be HillCountry or something like that.
nope, sadly - most are the "one serve" size - like 7 oz I think is the biggest. Hardly enough for ONE decent size tuna pattie.
The reason I miss the big Safcol tins is you'd always get a nice SOLID piece of tuna filling up most of the can.........and that piece could be "flaked" nicely - as other posters are saying on here - a LOT of the tuna in cans here is just "mush"
I like chunk light tuna in oil preferably Bumble Bee.
