Have you ever gotten bones in canned tuna?

42, almost 43 years, and approximately 2000 cans of tuna, and I have never, ever, gotten any bones in canned tuna.

Until 1:30p.m.CST today. I opened a can of Chicken of the Sea, and it had a whole bunch of fish bones in it. Blech. I’m gonna send an e-mail and complain.

But the real question is, was I lucky all those years in not getting any bones? have any of you ever gotten any? I’m talking about large bone pieces.

I have a couple times. Don’t know what brand, though (it’s the one with the dolphin on it . . . which I think is supposed to mean that it’s “dolphin-safe”). Very rare, though.

But I don’t know if what crunched between my teeth would be considered “large bone piece” by you or not. I never had a big old bone splinter sticking out of my sandwhich or anything.

Never until the last 4 months or so I had three separate cans with bones. I haven’t eaten tuna since.

Never. But I seldom buy canned tuna, and when I do it’s always white albacore.

And white Albacore tuna fish don’t have bones in them?:confused:

Tuna SALAD is the only form of fish I will eat. It has to have a lot of mayo and tons of pickles too. But once about 6 years ago, I got a bone in my tuna. It was a smallish, ring shaped bone and it totally grossed me out for a long time. I have had tuna since, but only the stuff from Subway.

No. But canned salmon freaks me the hell out.

Bone city, man.

:o

Never with tuna, but ALWAYS with red or pink salmon. With tuna, you generally just get the ‘flakes’ of meat, whereas with salmon, you actually get a ‘cutlet’ or a whole piece of flesh, bones and all. They’re easily crunched though, and a marvellous source of calcium…:smiley:

(thinks of Far Side boneless chicken ranch :)) I’m sure they do. I just meant that it’s more expensive, and presumably has better quality-control.

I’ve gotten bones in cans of chicken, but never in tuna.

Better the bone in a can of tuna, than the bone chip in a can of Spam. I speak, regrettably, from experience.

No bones, but I HAVE found something a lot worse that bones: a live roach!

No joke! I opened the can, and a large, live roach came out. I have no idea how long he survived in there (how long does it take for tuna to get from a cannery to a supermarket in New York? Days? Weeks?), but he made it!

Mind you, despite my admiration for his toughness, I STILL killed him instantly.

I think I’ve probably gotten bones in my tuna, but I didn’t feel like picking through the insect parts and rat filth for confirmation.
