I am not usually a seafood fan, let alone a fan of canned tuna. For one, leaky, smelly tuna juice isn’t appealing, it stinks up my kitchen, and it typically leaks everywhere.
Thankfully, Chicken of the Sea No-Drain Tuna is all the meat and none of the mess.
In short, you get a can filled with solid, flaky meat and not the mushy, unappetizing mess that you might be accustomed to from some of the canned tunas you’ve tried.
Because of their patented process, Chicken of the Sea No Drain Tuna comes in a can that requires no draining and means no mess. Solid, steak-like tuna is in every can, which also offers an easy-to-open, convenient lid. Chicken of the Sea No Drain Tuna is available in four, 4-ounce varieties: Solid White Albacore Tuna, Solid Light Tuna, Solid Light Thai Chili Tuna and Solid Light Lemon Pepper Tuna.
I like this tuna so much, I hid the can from the kids.
I’m not proud.
Best Tuna Salad
Finish by sprinkling with paprika to lend color and a bit of earthiness to the mildly, sweet flavor of the salad.
Serves 2
1 4-ounce can Chicken of the Sea No-Drain Solid Tuna
1 chopped hard-boiled egg
1 chopped stalk of celery (not the entire bunch)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sugar-free sweet relish
ground black pepper and salt, to taste
Optional: Paprika
Combine all ingredients except for paprika well. (You can choose to process the ingredients together for more of a pâté, as pictured). Chill salad until serving.

The final word: All in all, I typically refuse tuna unless it’s in steak form (I am finicky), but I really, truly liked this tuna so much, I’ll actively seek this flaky, fabulous fish for its convenience, flavor, and healthy benefits. I give this one a rare 5 out of 5 stars.

Interesting. I gather this product does not contain soy, which one sees in many cans of tuna now. BUT I have questions. How was this tuna caught? Where was it caught and packed? I also note that this can holds even less tuna than the already down-sized cans do. (Or should I be comparing this to packets? I don’t know how much the packets hold.) I’d like to be able to have two nonscrimpy servings from one can of tuna. I guess you accomplish that by adding egg, but my approach to tuna doesn’t involve egg.
Good questions, Jean! I had those same questions. Thankfully, most are answered at their site… https://chickenofthesea.com/sustainability/
Per the can, you’re looking at all meat and no liquids, so it’s a goodly amount of product in my experience. It’s like they shoved tuna steak into the can, not some mushy fish and liquids…
Spectacular! What a great idea! This is your imagination hard at work!

Glad
I’ve never thought to put egg in my tuna. It sounds awesome. I can’t wait to try this. You rock!
I hope you like it!
But kitty loves the tuna water!
Thanks! Going to make this and now I know what to do with cucumber.
I love egg in my tuna salad. Also tuna and egg back in the days when I ate macaroni salad. I have been looking for this but cant find it in any of the stores? Has anyone found it in their local markets?
I still haven’t seen the no-drain tuna yet! I am looking, though…
I mash with a fork a boiled egg, add a tblsp of mayonnaise, more if needed, a couple tsp of pickle relish, a dash of yellow mustard and a small can of drained tuna. I use this mixture for sandwiches. Now I won’t have the mess of draining ..
sorry I omitted chopped onion is added also. to the small can, try 1/4 cup.
How do you use the tuna with lemon pepper . Is it lemon tasting or not?
I accidentally grabbed the lemon pepper and was very unhappy with the taste. It does not work well in my tuna salad because all you taste is lemon. I will go back to using tuna packed in water so I don’t make that mistake again and because the price is too high.
