Zion: Yes, I’m aware that there are regulations about how many bug legs & mouse droppings can be in food, and still be considered safe. It’s gross, but hey, we’re not dead yet.
Starkist is my preferred brand, too, and I will continue to buy it. But I will definitely look more closely when I open the cans now.

One point about the OP. If yout canned tuna was actually looking at you, then the fish must have been still attached and alive. This is grosser than we thought!
I was doing my stint on KP in basic training, and I was watching spaghetti sauce bubbling away in a big ol’ vat when a large locust surfaced. I ladled it out and showed it to a cook. He said, “Well, it’s better than a roach.”
They still served the spaghetti sauce.
This is getting hard. Somebody relieve me. (A Wallian exclamation)
Ok, this is about cat food, not people food, but it’s still pretty repulsive:
My parents have a lot of cats. When I was still living at home, one of my chores was to open up a bunch of cans of food and serve the little darlings their dinner. For a while, my dad was into buying them canned cat-grade sardines-- pretty gross anyway, chunks of fish slathered in a pungent gel that only a cat could love. One evening I opened up a can, popped off the lid, and saw at least six or seven intact heads staring up at me, all glassy eyed. I think I screamed. I know I refused to feed them that crud for a good long time… yech…
Gamera is really neat, he is full of turtle meat, we’ve been eating Gam-er-aaaa…
Diane, if you REALLY don’t want to know, please close your eyes and don’t open them, till you leave this post…got 'em closed??
I was a part of a volunteer group of women who went to MCG hospital back in Augusta, Georgia, to take balloons/coloring books/crayons to sick kids. We always went to Wendy’s afterwards, I always went with the salad bar, but the other women would nit and pick about what they wanted, and I think it got on someone’s nerves, and the hair was placed there on purpose to freak us out. ** It worked **

“Muck should replace ‘suck’. For ‘muck’ is yucky, while ‘suck’ feels very lucky. So, don’t stay stuck on suck, switch to MUCK, today.”
I’m assuming that it was at least a fish eye and not some mammalian or avian eye ball floating about your tuna. If so, at least it sort of belongs there. Well, kind of. I’m sure all sorts of fish bits get tossed into the ole tuna and I doubt it’s 100% Thunnus thynnus either. Oh well, call it extra protein

Hey, Zion, I think you should let Starkist know, not in a screechy way, but in a “Starkist is my Favorite tuna, and I just thought you’d wanna know” manner. You should at least get a case of free tuna for your trouble!
