canned tuna in vegetable oil. why?

I buy tuna packed in Olive oil. I drain most, but not all and I add nothing to the sandwich. It is a staple meal of mine. I’m repulsed by water loggeg tuna.

Also I find that the premium tuna varieties are packed in Olive oil. I buy “Italian style” tuna, and it’s darker and packed in Olive oil.

Where I live, it’s a big seller, but I am Italian and there are alot of Italians everywhere in the NE United States.

I have no idea why I put Olive in caps.
