I don't care much for the canned shit but love Tuna. Like Tokyo said, the canned shit is Albacore. Bluefin and Yellowfin sashimi is absolutely divine. I actually love Albacore as well but fresh albacore from a sushi joint is considerably different in taste and texture from the canned crap. Around here, when you go out on a sport fishing boat and catch albacore, yellowfin, bluefin, bigeye tuna, you have the option of taking your fresh caught tuna home or exchanging it for canned tuna. Most people exchange for canned albacore for the reason of preservation, but I can't make that exchange. I'd much rather keep the fresh tuna and give all the extras out to friends/family.
