MM, do you know if Century premium tuna is available at meto Ayala market in Cebu or any other markets in Cebu? I agree with others that any citrus juice added can cut the fishy smell in tuna salad.

MM,sinumbong na kita kay Mr. Po (owner of Century Canning Corp.)..hehe! sinabi ko sa mga staff nya na bisitahin nila ang marketmanila.com para naman bigyan ka ng discount pagbili mo ulit ng kanilang produkto.

I notice that there is a 21st Centurt Tuna. I live here in the U.S and wanted to buy Century Tuna online at a Filipino Store. But I notice that they have a product named 21 st Century Tuna. And that is giving me doubts now. I love that product for I was eating it since I was little.

Have you tried MIRAMAR Tuna Belly? It’s also local and it’s really good.

A friend of mine served us that particular century tuna in a pasta dish. She had several cans in stock as the owners are a family friend (if not an in-law – can’t remember). At the time, it wasn’t available in the market. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the taste of it. Oh well,… I like thinly sliced apples in my tuna sandwich.

i don’t really like tuna but I might change my mind about it if I get to try some really good stuff. I’d like to get my hands on some CENTURY TUNA CHOICE.. i don’t understand why century tuna isn’t putting it out in the market? can we find it only in Terry’s? and i wonder if there’s a regular supply in that establishment?

Waaaa! If it is so hard to get in Manila, it only means that we will never never get it here in Bacolod. :(

I’m a sucker for tuna (and always Century Tuna, in vegetable oil or in brine).

I first thought that was way too expensive for canned tuna, but Joey put it in perspective. At least tuna’s better for me than a frappucino or a slice of cheesecake, which can cost that much too. Mercury poisoning *is* a real problem, though. Isn’t it so frustrating that we choose to eat tuna because we want to be healthier, but then, in fact, cause ourselves more harm? Sigh…

When I was young, my tita taught our cook to prepare tuna a particular way, and since then I’ve preferred it to the usual way it’s served. Drain the tuna of its oil, then saute till dry and toasted. It should look something like adobo flakes. Drizzled with calamansi juice and served with a heaping mound of garlic rice, it’s really delicious, especially the Hot & Spicy flavor!
