In my humble opinion, the best canned tuna on the market. Hasn't been half price in over 8 months. Enjoy :)

      The remaining cans of tuna randomly open and tip their contents all over you.

      Seriously - if you are that worried, have 2 self serves going* and scan 6 in each one.

      • garage sale on 12/12/2017 - 00:45

        or one self serve and pay for each 6 as finalised ….. but seriously their software isn’t that smart …. i know at woollies if it’s a multi buy deal ….. extras beyond the required amount are also discounted.

        • pennypincher98 on 12/12/2017 - 07:35

          That's why I said

          Seriously, if you are that worried…

          The only person likely to pick up on it is the one supervising the self serves and they quite frankly couldn't care less :)

    • silverrat23 on 11/12/2017 - 22:05

      Serious answer - it's only user-enforced. The Cashier would not know the limit if they didn't read the catalogue or were not told by others.

      Also, it's not coded in their registers to bring up any alerts.

    • PvsNP on 13/12/2017 - 15:06

      Well not on offer in Costco, but they're $19.99 for 12x95g cans.
      Cheapest I could find was John West 6x425g for $21.79

    Can you explain why are they the best canned tuna?

    Tried both Sirena and Aldi canned tuna. Can't tell the difference.

    • Bellpop on 11/12/2017 - 21:05

      Agree. The also pole line caught is the same as far as I can tell.

      • Scab on 12/12/2017 - 13:31
        +1

        pole line caught is the same

        Pole caught has nothing to do with taste, it's for sustainability and no by-catch.

    • Baron-K on 11/12/2017 - 21:12

      Aldi is better, less salty, softer texture and at $1.86 the only reason I go there.

      • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2017 - 09:50

        And about a third of the price if you buy the big tins.

    • Scab on 12/12/2017 - 13:28

      Tried ALDI and although it's close I still think Sirena is nicer.

  • pistachio1 on 11/12/2017 - 20:54

    This is my favourite day of the year!! I have a whole shelf dedicated to Sirenna Tuna, personally, I love the odd chunk of dolphin in my Tuna, but this stuff is pole caught so no Flipper in these.. . bummer

    • garage sale on 12/12/2017 - 00:47

      dolphins are high in omega 3 so chunks of dolphin are a bonus …..

    • ozoner on 12/12/2017 - 02:36

      There might be the occasional bit of dolphin in there, but I'm sure it's not done on porpoise…

    Its just superior quality in pretty much every way. Im a tuna nut!. . this is the best stuff

    • bargainshooter on 11/12/2017 - 22:51
      +1

      Please explain? It's mostly caught and packaged in Indonesia, has never been made in Italy or made to a Italian recipe and has a history of unsustainable fishing. How is it superior? I too am a tuna nut - just don't trust Indonesian trawlers.

      • theone4Abargain83 on 23/12/2017 - 18:22

        Completely agree, it is captialising on the name to completely fool the masses. Actually you will probably find that most tuna products sold in the major retailers (including Aldi) are mostly fished from either Indonesia, Vietnam or Thialand and dare I say it, China.

        If consumers really knew what they were buying there would be outcry.

        I mostly stick to the delicatessens to pick bulk packs of tuna fully imported from Italy. The ones with olive oil actually taste better with the right amount of salt and are great on their own.

  • kevitkotw on 11/12/2017 - 21:03

    Sirena is awesome, but that 'premium' Aldi one is almost identical. At the same price I'd go Sirena though.

    • pennypincher98 on 12/12/2017 - 07:38

      But it's not the same price? Isn't Aldi's like 16c cheaper :P

    tbh john west, sirena, coles, woolworths and aldi brands taste almost the same and would definitely not say sirena is superior to others. Wouldn't be surprised if they are all from the same factory anyway. Nice ones are callipo and rio mare. Both hard to get and way too expensive unfortunately …

    • bargainshooter on 11/12/2017 - 22:54
      +5

      Sirena is definitely not superior. But too many brainwashed "it's italian" foodies somehow fell for it. Of the brands you list I'd try Safcol. One of the most sustainably caught brands in Australia.

      • oldhippy on 11/12/2017 - 23:24

        Agree. Don't get this craze over this brand. Read the label people.

        • garage sale on 12/12/2017 - 00:51
          +1

          some are skip jack and some are yellow fin tuna, skip jack being the cheaper …. in the tiny cans one brand used to use bluefin …. probabaly trimmings as bluefin is usually reserved for sushi and sashimi.

        • Scab on 12/12/2017 - 13:35
          +1

          Read the label people.

          You obviously don't, a lot of the other brands don't use yellowfin like Sirena.

          Skipjack is cheaper and doesn't have the same flavour.

      • Scab on 12/12/2017 - 13:39
        +2

        Safcol is skipjack tuna, not the same flavour unless you don't have taste buds.

    • theone4Abargain83 on 23/12/2017 - 18:25

      I get my Callipo and Rio Mare from the Italian Deli. These are fished locally and exported internationally from Italy.

    John West uses the best and leaves the rest for Sirena.
    John West 95gm variety cans are $1 each this week at Coles, so 2x 95g is 5gms more than Sirena 185gm cans for $2.

    I like to mix a Sweet Chili Tuna with a Mango Tuna in my weekly Tuna Pasta Bake.

    • hell0 on 12/12/2017 - 13:12

      I think both contain a certain amount of bycatch like Dolphins etc. So both are equally winners.

      • ttlooshan on 12/12/2017 - 14:24

        Actually it's pole and line caught. Not sure if there is still dolphin bycatch in this case.
